      There is an information board about Gerach on the hip

The place experienced its real boom in the years around 1500 when about 200m away from the place, copper-bearing rock was found The rock finds must have been very productive, because this is the only way to explain the fact that a large underground mine was created. The underground tunnels are about 3 km in length, they reach just before the community of Hintertiefenbach Ceased in 1605 when a major mining accident occurred and the finds were no longer productive enough. The residents always had a difficult livelihood in the barren agriculture, early ore mining and later in the quarry.

The single loop with four stones w Was operated until 1956 and restored in the 1970s. Source: Text information board
