The themed trail, located in the middle of a formerly active mining region, leads along varied "miner's paths" to numerous old tunnels and pit areas. When the weather is nice, you have an excellent view over the Siegerland at various points.

I can only recommend this hike around the Kalteiche with its many tunnels and relics from the mining era. Perhaps it would have been better to wait until everything was green. Who knows how many people on two legs or two wheels I would have met then. It was amazing today.

A very nice tour in the best hiking weather. Unfortunately there were still some trees on the way so that you have to go through the area from time to time :-)

We hiked along miners' paths in 13° sunshine, with birdsong and woodpeckers tapping. On the beautiful route we passed 6 former mining tunnels.
