    Hiking

    Along this hiking trail or near a junction near the Gahrenberg, you'll find a shelter at the former Gahrenberg Coal Mine. This is a stop on the "Eco-Pad Bergbau Holzhausen Reinhardswald" (Eco Trail Mining Holzhausen Reinhardswald) – a thematic hiking trail that highlights the region's long mining history.

    The Gahrenberg Coal Mine was active from 1842 to 1970. It was primarily used for mining lignite, initially manually and later technologically assisted (via electric chain conveyors). Production peaked in the 1960s at over 24,000 tons per year.
