Fun trail that circles the collapsed pit and skirts one of the most beautiful buildings in the mine, including a lost place. Rooty and narrow with slight uphill and downhill sections.
Caution, be sure to watch out for hikers, especially on weekends!

Narrow trail around the old opencast mine with a lost place "goat stable" and a picturesque machine house. Always follow the hammer/chisel symbol

Only Krupp had a goat shed built in noble solid construction. From 1908!
