Hiking

At this point, the hiker will find a former charcoal kiln with its reconstructed entrance. Coal mines have been used for the production of charcoal since time immemorial. The superior importance of charcoal over wood is a higher temperature yield, which made the smelting of ores possible. Glassworks, forging and the pharmaceutical industry were the customers.
