This area is worth a trip. Lots of nature and beautiful scenery. But be careful: cell reception is not good here. So not for internet junkies and permanent posters 😉.

Once a place full of life - miners, lumberjacks, glass blowers, glass grinders & agriculture.... silver mining - glassworks - - abandoned - expulsion - demolition - Today SILBERBERG is just a deserted landscape, whose old trees are the last evidence of the former value of this area.Whenever I pass here, I always feel a sense of melancholy.
Why this highlight?
Well - I think you shouldn't forget the knowledge about the disappearance of these places.My photos are from my round:
