Tips

Tourismusverband Erzgebirge e.V.

January 11, 2023

The "Freudenstolln" was already started in 1592 by Jacob Uthmann, but he had to drive it before he reached the underground works of "St. Briccius” had to be discontinued for financial reasons.

After its completion in the 19th century it was later the deepest drainage tunnel of the pit and brought 35 pools (approx. 70m) greater depth under the "Tiefen Briccius Stolln" and also drains the pit "Holy Trinity". The originally hammered tunnel was expanded in cross-section by the "shooting" that had been introduced in the meantime.

In 1796 the remaining hat house was built and it was not until 1892 that the mining of silver-bearing copper ores on the eastern slope of the Pöhlberg was finally stopped.

There is a rest area with seating for hiking groups on the heap.
