The stairs make the descent to the water tower less arduous

At this quaint rest stop, hikers, cyclists, and chimney sweeps receive a free beer.

This memorial commemorates the victims from Hadermannsgrün during both World Wars.

From 1942 onwards, the Hadermannsgrün quarry, owned by Johann Spörl KG, produced high-quality building materials such as fine gravel from the volcanic raw material diabase. Due to the poor market situation, mining was discontinued in 2007. In 2024, demolition excavators also razed the 30-meter-high crushing and classification plant of the hard stone works, with its twelve large reinforced concrete silos. Now, the site is being returned to nature.

In 1933, a wood mill was converted into the current hydroelectric power plant. Along the right bank of the Selbitz River, the 1.60-meter-high pipes run 1,855 meters in length, with a drop of 37.4 meters, carrying water from the weir to the water tower and from there into the power plant. During the summer months, on Sundays and public holidays, and when the water level is sufficient, a 28-meter-high water fountain can be seen at the power plant, delighting hikers.
