In July '24 the path was quite overgrown. Shorts can be uncomfortable here. Danger of ticks and stinging nettles.

A small rest area with two tables for pilgrims has been lovingly created here. There is a fridge with drinks, a coffee machine, filter bags and coffee powder and a kettle. Payment via trust fund. Unfortunately there is no pilgrim stamp here either.

In the show mine you can marvel at the original, medieval condition of the former copper mine. Exploring the branching system of tunnels and shafts is a very special experience. Access is in guided groups.

Beautifully designed place that invites you to linger. The work of art stands exactly on the site of the former Friedenseiche. The fountain has been restored and the old handle pump is still working.
