Great viewing plateau on the old waste dump. Here, underground and vertically, there was a wooden water wheel with a diameter of 14m that, with its impact water from the reservoirs, was able to pump mine water upwards from a depth of up to 200m. The circle of chairs with symbolic 14 chairs represents the 14m diameter of the water wheel.

Hiking

The water trail leads past mining relics from the Rhonard mine. At around 4.5 km long, it is also suitable for people who do not want to or cannot walk for such a long time. It offers information about the work in the Rhonard mine.
