Hiking

Ancient location where iron sandstone was mined for centuries. An information board provides information about a cast-iron past. Definitely worth considering. The Wijngaardberg is not only wine and fruit, but also has a strong architectural story.

A very strong story on the mountain flank of the Wijngaardberg. Discover traces of a bygone history of mining local building materials.
