Nestled within the Lößnitz Forest, between Lößnitz, Aue, and Oberpfannenstiel, lies the former mining district of the mining town of Lößnitz, where mining has been practiced since at least 1382. However, the real mining boom in the Kuttengrund valley to the south didn't begin until around 1480. The primary minerals mined were silver, copper, arsenic, and lead. From 1500 onward, numerous adits were driven from the valley floors of the Kuttenbach and Fallbach streams. To date, research has identified 56 adits covering an area of approximately five hectares. From 1720, silver and arsenic mining was revived in eight individual mines. One of these mines is the so-called Reichenbach Adit, known locally as the Kutten Mine. The particularly high arsenic content ensured the mine a modest income until October 1907. The main customer and long-time operator was the private blue dye factory Niederpfannenstiel, located on the Schwarzwasser river.

A great highlight not only for the adults, it certainly stimulated the sense of adventure and imagination of our kids;)
