Firnskuppe a small mountain made of basalt tuff. Firnskuppe and the surrounding area were often visited by people before the turn of the times. This is evidenced by numerous tombs from the La Tène period on the Heiden and Fuchsküppel and the mining activities at the Firnskuppe. In the past, ore, coal and minerals were searched here underground. In the Middle Ages, the Firnskuppe was said to have been a refuge for robber and thief gangs.
