    Hiking

    It is a good idea to park here and hike the "ERZWEG Süd" hiking trail. A great way.

    Hiking

    The ore cart stands as a symbol for the former ore mining in the region around Freienseen. It is also part of the historical ERZWEG SÜD hiking trail, which, over a distance of around 15 kilometers, brings visitors closer to the mining history of the region using information boards and exhibits.
    Translated by
    For almost a hundred years, the landscape in the front Vogelsberg around Freienseen, Weickartshain, Lardenbach, Stockhausen, Ilsdorf, Merlau, Flensungen, Nieder-Ohmen, Atzenhain up to Burg-Gemünden, was characterized by large iron ore mines.
    Kilometers of cable cars and mud pipes crisscrossed the landscape, large ore processing plants and loading stations at the train stations made clear the importance of this industrial sector for our region.
    Until the late 1960s, along with agriculture and forestry, mining was one of the most important sources of income for the population.
