There isn't much to see here anymore - just a few remains of walls. Luckily there is a detailed information board about silver mining in the "Langheck". Silver was mined here from around 1615 to the beginning of the 20th century. In 1912 the Altermann mine was closed down, and in 1980 the main shaft "David" was filled in.

The place is obviously used as a barbecue area.
The mine or this information point is not directly on the main path, but you can make a little detour (also as a circular route). It's worth it!
