Mountain biking

Remains of the former lead ore mine Vesuvius are well worth seeing. The lead ore deposit of Freihung extends over a length of 3 - 6 km and a width of 1 - 2 km along the "Freihunger Disturbance", it is the largest lead ore deposit in southern Germany. Lead ore was mined here at the end of the 19th century.
