Tips

Dirk Rüger

📝 The Heidenhübel marks a historic spot on the Potzberg. This is where the former "Alter Potzberg" mining area begins, where rock was extracted for many years. Today, not much of it remains – but those who know where they are standing can sense the connection between the landscape and the past. A place that quietly unites nature and human activity.

💡 Tip: Read the information sign carefully – it transforms an inconspicuous place into a piece of living regional history.
