Hiking
Around Ilsdorf, especially between the Ilsdorf pit and the B49, you can find brown-red chunks of ore when the fields are freshly plowed and the rain has washed the stones free.
This was perhaps one of the reasons why exploratory shafts were sunk west and east of Ilsdorf in the years from 1868 onwards. The mighty brown iron deposits identified were each several hundred meters long and up to 150 m wide. Lumpy ore was laboriously mined by hand through these shafts.
