      The Rohrengrabenweg is a really beautiful, idyllic forest path right next to the former ditch for the former mining industry. The path is sometimes a bit rooty, but really nice and easy to walk. If you don't want to walk it completely, it is advisable to walk at least part of it. It is worth it!

        The Röhrgraben is a medieval artificial ditch and was used to supply water to the Ehrenfriedersdorf tin mines.
        The extensive mining in Ehrenfriedersdorf, which had been in operation since the middle of the 13th century, prompted the miners to bring in additional process water for tin processing. The wooded and water-rich area at the Greifenbachstauweiher offers very favorable conditions for water extraction. The high plateau with closed forest area has an average annual precipitation of more than 1000 mm. The only moderate slope of the terrain and the good storage capacity of the soil ensure a relatively constant flow rate even in times of low precipitation and thus offered ideal conditions for the construction of an artificial ditch.
