A journey of discovery through history on the Kupfererzweg (Copper Ore Trail)

Immerse yourself in a bygone world and experience the fascinating history of mining up close! Our guided hike takes you along the copper ore trail up to the historic Berghaus/Knappenhaus - a place where the hard life of the miners once pulsated.
