A little tip: Sections 6-7 from Heidenburg to the Drohntalsperre are very densely overgrown (nettles, thorns, etc.). This path is not passable.

For me, "Frau Holle" was always the kind old lady shaking out down comforters. This "Frau Holle" with her hollow eyes gazing out of the rock, however, goes back to the Celtic/Germanic legendary figure who was declared a demon during the Christianization process.

Until 1870, the smelting mill was the stamping mill for crushing the ores extracted from the adjacent Sankt-Gotthard-Grube lead ore mine.
