    In 2016, the market square of the mountain and Hansel town in Sontra was redesigned. The market square is right in front of the Sontra town hall (rebuilt in 1668) and is used for numerous events (markets, maypole festival, etc.). The half-timbered buildings that surround the market square are also interesting. The mining museum is located below the town hall. The figure of the Iron Buddy stands in front of the museum on the market square. Whoever touches his left hand should always be in work and bread in the future.

        Medieval town with a corresponding town hall on the market square. Copper slate mining was formerly used, which can be seen in some places

          Very nice city center with a lot of half-timbered houses.

            The market square is a beautiful half-timbered ensemble.

              I've never seen so much half-timbering as on my weser tour in 1986

                I took a break here on my bike tour and enjoyed the atmosphere. A quiet place, beautifully decorated with the character of an old town.
