    At that time, this conveyor cart was needed in the Fortuna iron ore mine for transporting iron ore.
    About 4.6 million tons of iron ore were mined in this pit.
    Today the mine is a sightseeing mine with a mine railway museum.
    It is located between Solms-Oberbiel and Asslar-Berghausen.
    During the season, numerous guided tours and other interesting events are offered there.
    There is also the "Zechenhaus", a restaurant with very tasty food and drinks.

    It is an original from the visitor mine "Grube Fortuna", which was closed in 1983. Iron ore in the form of red iron ore (hematite) and brown iron ore (limonite) was mined here, as well as a small magnetite deposit.
