Nordic walking

The Zinnschützweiher is an artificial pond two kilometers west of Leupoldsdorferhammer. It is located 663 meters high at the foot of the Seehügel. The historic water dam, which is filled by several small streams, is located in one of the oldest tin mining areas in the Fichtelgebirge, documented since 1481. The water was used to wash the tin ore out of the ground in the tin placers downstream; this process was called seifnen.
