Here is one of the two entrances to the "Geotourist Trail - Former Babina Mine" right next to the lookout tower. In addition to around 35 parking spaces, there is an overview of the educational trail and various mining relics to admire - and underground mine of brown coal and ceramic clay, which was mined here on an industrial scale in the years 1920-1973.

Hiking

A lot of money was spent here on the paths and resting places and information boards
issued. Hopefully it stays this neat for a long time. The terrain is very suitable for hikes with children, as there is something to read and discover after a short time.
