    Hiking

    Iron ore was found and mined in the Vogelsberg many centuries ago. Also here in the immediate vicinity. Field names such as Eisenfeld, Rothfeld, Klopfhammer, the Eisenbiegel near Lehnheim and others bear witness to this. In the 16th century, “an iron pit where iron is dug is mentioned as belonging to Merlau Castle.

    In addition to the old ore mine, there is also an information board No. 7 on the ERZWegs Mitte.
    A themed circular route with numerous information boards on the history of iron ore mining in the municipality of Mücke.
