Mountain biking

In 1695, two farmer found silver ore, which led to a veritable rush of silver around the area of the pit.
Until the 20th century, silver and later mercury were mined here.
Today, the plant is only a ruin.

A relic of the local history and also a nice resting place on the way from almonds to the Roth!
