Hiking

With the rebuilt Pferdegöpel on the Rudolph shaft in the district of Marienberg Lauta a piece of Marienberg mining history comes to life. The visitor learns about the structure and operation of the originally horse-driven conveyor system, which was operated from 1838 to 1877 on the Rudolph shaft.

In 1838/1839 the waterhole shaft was expanded into a production shaft. The shaft tube was lined with brick, the shaft was saddled up and a horse head was installed. On January 23, 1839, the shaft was given the name of the new mining master Rudolph Hering and was henceforth called Rudolphschacht.

With the reconstructed horse furniture on the Rudolph shaft in the Lauta district, a piece of Marienberg mining history comes to life. The conveyor system, which was originally driven by horses, was in operation on the shaft from 1838 to 1877. A mountain smithy and a rustic bench divide invite you to visit. Good luck for
