Directly adjacent to the Communstolln, panel 4 points to the Schnitzerheim (Carver's Home), the home of the oldest carving and mining club in the Ore Mountains. Founded in 1879 as the "Bergverein" (Mining Club), the club is one of the oldest of its kind in the western Ore Mountains and became known for its artistically designed Christmas mountains. The first documented woodcarver was Karl Friedrich Schorler (1755-1839). The first woodcarving school in the Ore Mountains was founded in 1904 under the direction of Ernst Büttner in Lößnitz. https://www.stadt-loessnitz.de/de/wandern/innerstaedtischer-lehrpfad.html

The Communstolln is a mining facility first documented in 1739. Today, it is 300 meters long and, after extensive reconstruction, was used as a water tunnel for the drinking water supply of the town of Lößnitz from 1866 onwards. At that time, the flow rate was 200 liters of water per minute. With the completion of the municipal drinking water pipeline at the end of the 19th century, the tunnel lost its importance. https://www.stadt-loessnitz.de/de/wandern/innerstaedtischer-lehrpfad.html

"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a national survey carried out between 1862 and 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network. The goal was to record the national territory with scientific and geodetic precision and, by establishing permanently marked reference points, to create the basis for the production of accurate maps." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung The triangulation network created by August Nagel was considered one of the most accurate surveying networks in the world at the time. The Nagel columns are preserved today as technical monuments. From the Katzenstein station, the stations of Pfaffenberg (near Hohenstein-Ernstthal), Steinkamm, Schatzenstein, Hirschenstein, and Reinsdorf were surveyed. All of these mountains can still be seen today, along with many more. On a clear day, you can enjoy a fabulous panoramic view of the Ore Mountains, Vogtland, Fichtel Mountains, and the Ore Mountains foothills around Zwickau and Chemnitz.
