    Hiking

    From the mouth of the deep tunnel, 4.8 million tons of iron ore mined from 1849 to 1983 came out in railway lorries, which were taken up to 250 meters deep out of the mountain.
    The tracks from the tunnel mouth led to a building complex for ore processing, of which only the tipping hall remains. The ore from the lorries was emptied with compressed air. The ore was broken into different grain sizes and taken to the Lahntalbahn in Albshausen by cable car.
    The Kipphalle is a museum and event location.

    This is where the interesting pit tours begin and end.
