Copper and silver ores were discovered in the Golden Lauter valley in the 15th century and mined until the end of the 19th century. Unfortunately, no gold was found, as one might assume from the name.

A beautiful path if you want to hike further towards the Rennsteig

Beautiful Lautertal valley with many truly interesting information panels about the history of mining and the town's origins. One of the shortest and most beautiful routes from Suhl to Schmücke. Plenty of rest stops, all in good condition (March '25).
