Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
- Immediately at the start of the tour, you walk along the "Grüner Graben" - an important testimony to mining in the region. The "Grüner Graben", which still carries water today and is largely preserved in its original state, is one of the most important witnesses to silver and tin ore mining in the area around Pobershau. It is an example of the water management facilities in the Marienberg mining area.
