Theodor's Ruh Pavilion

Highlight • Structure

My grandma said, "The pavilion is called Theodor's Rest."
And the roof has been redone too – it looks much better.

Bergwerkswald Trails

Highlight • Trail

In the morning you can still get through the trails well, from early afternoon many pedestrians are out and about, then it becomes difficult to ride through the partly unclear sections.

Large Pond

In wet weather this area is one big mud hole.

Pond in Bergwerkswald

Highlight • Lake

There are a few such dreamy ponds along the hiking trails in the mining forest. They emerged from abandoned above-ground ore mining sites. Now they are retreats for amphibians and waterfowl.
