A highlight in the Kuttengrund is without a doubt the Reichenbach Fundgrube/Bernhardt Stollen/Art Shaft Visitor Mine. A club restored this gem. Events are also held here from time to time. More information is available on the Internet, simply enter Kuttengrund as a search term.

Nestled within the Lößnitz Forest, between Lößnitz, Aue, and Oberpfannenstiel, lies the former mining district of the mining town of Lößnitz, where mining has been practiced since at least 1382. However, the real mining boom in the Kuttengrund valley to the south didn't begin until around 1480. The primary minerals mined were silver, copper, arsenic, and lead. From 1500 onward, numerous adits were driven from the valley floors of the Kuttenbach and Fallbach streams. To date, research has identified 56 adits covering an area of approximately five hectares.
