Unfortunately, no one cares about the formerly beautiful circuit. Meanwhile, this is even locked and you have to make your own way through the undergrowth. Too bad, but the more you do, the sooner a new path will emerge.

The pretty little reservoir owes its existence to uranium mining, because the Silberbach stream was dammed here to provide water for the uranium mines.

Idyllically situated pond, surrounded by forest and meadows. It was created by former clay mining, which has a long tradition in this region and was used to make bricks.

Here you have to stand in the pond with bare feet as a test of courage.
