Hiking

Former mine site, 1847-1893, mining of lead-zinc-ore. Small waters carry iron oxide and thus look red.

Hiking

From the bench by the Lerbach stream, you can look out into an idyllic wetland. Supposedly, "special species" live there. But when asked, the authorities declined to reveal which ones exactly. Is this even true?

The neighboring sand piles, embankments, and embankments are very popular with children for playing. This is permitted because the mine site—unlike the surrounding Hardt Nature Reserve—is exempt from nature conservation.

Hiking

Given the high levels of zinc residues in the soil, calamine flora would be expected here, unless arsenic, mercury, and cadmium interfere.
