Access to the pit is blocked by a fence. The gate at the bottom of the fence may be opened for guided hikes. https://www.bew-imsbach.de/index.php/de/oeffnungszeiten

The pit is an opencast mine in the upper Schweinstal north of Imsbach, accessible via the circular pit hiking trail.

A great way through the gorge. There is also a bit of action offered by the small climbing insert.

Beautiful, well-restored castle ruins with a great view. There is also a place to stop for refreshments right at the castle.

A special place: very steep in history and nice to rest (seating area + single bench). This is "undoubtedly a sacred stone from ancient pagan times. The massive colossus may have played an important role almost 3,000 years ago in the orbit of an Iron Age ancestor cult." To the right of the menhir: a well-preserved boundary stone with an "Otterberg abbot's staff. The left [boundary stone], only preserved as a stump, once bore the inscription 'Falkenstein'."

This pit "was one of the 5 large pits in the Imsbach ore district. Copper and silver ores have been extracted here since the 14th century, perhaps even as early as Roman times." Source (cited verbatim): information board on site

A menhir with two boundary stones.
