Our route is the panoramic trail at Sahneberg, near the Fürstenzeche mine.

Old silver mine below the Osser

Great cave below the summit

Impressive place, this old mining pit

Here you get an insight into the centuries-long mining activity in this area. Pay attention to the opening times, it is closed in winter

If you walk the path through the animal enclosure counterclockwise, you will first pass the Stone Age cave. In addition to the replica of a Stone Age cave, a film about the Stone Age in the Bavarian Forest will also be shown.

A marked themed circular hiking trail leads from the historic visitor mine to the Gottesgab. The pit offers an insight into the oldest mining period on the Silberberg from the 8th to the 14th century. Ore roasting and ore cutting used to happen directly on the mountain. The red-colored path and the red spots on the themed path still bear witness to this today. The brown iron obtained was then processed into weapons and field tools in the iron hammers at Rothbach. If the visitor stands in front of the God's Gab, which has been wonderfully prepared for tourism, he will be overwhelmed by the play of colors he sees. Depending on the weather and the incidence of light, the rocks glow intensely in blue, yellow, white, brown and red colors. The bluish color comes from the lead and iron content, the red or brown color from iron, the yellow color from sulphur, the white from gypsum; formed during the weathering of magnetic gravel. The colors are efflorescences in the rock. Source: https://www.niederbayern-wiki.de/wiki/Gottesgab
