Ehrenfriedersdorf mining nature trail - "Glück Auf" in the Ore Mountains

Today there was some history about mining. 25 stations had to be approached. The start was the visitor mine on the Sauberg in Ehrenfriedersdorf. https://www.erzgebirge-tourismus.de/bergbau-erleben/unter-tage/poi/besucherbergwerk-zinngrube-ehrenfriedersdorf/poi.html Below are the 25 starting points that bear witness to at least 750 years of mining history in Ehrenfriedersdorf and the Greifenstein region. 01 Cleaner main and alignment shaft 02 Shaft 2 (conveyor shaft) 03 stope construction 04 Rohrgraben 05 Friedrich-August-Höhe 06 Mining in the Hahnrück Mountains 07 Mönchsbad Brickworks 08 Rich Silver Consolation Stolln 09 Former small railway bridge 10 Raithalden 11 Greifenstein tunnels 12 Garisch tunnels 13 Stamping and laundry works at Scheidebank 14 Röhrgraben dividers 15 Golden Eagle Adits 16 Greifenbach reservoir 17 griffin stones 18 Stulpner Cave 19 Tubular Drill Field 20 Heinrich-Ho Hoffnung Treasure Trove 21 Town Hall (Ehrenfriedersdorf) 22 City Parish Church "Sankt Niklas" 23 witnesses of mining 24 Rothes Stamp Mill (White House) 25 Morgenröther Scheidebank, air raid shelter 26 ore processing (probably (new) added) https://berggrabebruederschaft-ehrenfriedersdorf.de/index.php/lehrpfad ⚒ Good Luck ⚒

Today, we went to Ehrenfriedersdorf for a shorter hike in a pleasant 31°C. The highly informative mining trail starts there at the Zinnerz visitor mine. There are numerous information panels along the tour where you can learn about various mining topics. The tour also passes the Greifensteine (Griffin Stones). The most interesting part of the tour was the Röhrengraben (pipe ditch), an old mine drainage ditch. For the last few hundred meters of the tour, we somehow left the trail and headed cross-country back to the starting point. ...

The third (and last for this year) time on the road on behalf of the Lord 😎🕶️. Tour test for the TVE. The many "pointless" photos are for memory and documentation, some of them I'll delete again. The detour to the campsite snack bar was to refuel the tester 😁 and is not part of the tour (minus 1km). Somehow I didn't find all the information boards, including 1 to 4. Can you miss them or do they simply not exist?

Ehrenfriedersdorf Mining Trail: Well signposted, lots of information boards, also leads past the Greifenbachstauweiher and the Greifensteins, then identical to the Waldgeisterweg, many places to stop for refreshments (not quite as plentiful on Wednesdays on weekdays). You can definitely go. Open-air stage, of course now end of season, but July/August nice program for children and adults. We managed the feat of catching the only performance in two consecutive years that was canceled due to heavy rain. Not everyone can do that either. Let's see what happens next year.

The educational trail begins directly at the show mine in Ehrenfriedersdorf and leads past various points of mining history and technology. The highlight is the visit to the show mine with a friendly and expert guide.

Today I hiked the mining trail in the Greifenstein area around Ehrenfriedersdorf. It was a wonderful, educational and informative hike in a beautiful landscape. There were also plenty of information boards. I might do this hike as a group hike sometime, but I'll have to think about it again. The weather was also perfect, the 🌞 even came out for a while and it stayed dry. 🤠🥾🍀

Harald and I checked the route for April 12th today. Thick fog in the Miriquidi and zero views. On the other hand, we hardly met anyone, and it was wonderfully quiet. Now all we need on April 12th is good weather and friendly hikers!
