Hiking

In the past, several roof slate pits were operated in the Baybachtal, below the Schmausemühle you can still find spoil heaps and tunnel entrances that were driven a few hundred meters into the mountain. Up to 40 workers were employed there in 1921. The mighty slate slabs can still be seen in the earth outcrops.
