The Gottesgab is a medieval mining pit on the Silberberg near Bodenmais in the Bavarian Forest. A marked themed circular hiking trail leads to the Gottesgab from the historic visitor mine. The pit offers an insight into the oldest mining period on the Silberberg from the 8th to the 14th century. Ore roasting or ore cutting used to take place directly on the mountain. The red colored path and the red squares on the themed path still testify to this today. The brown iron obtained was then processed into weapons and field tools in the iron hammers at Rothbach.
