    Hiking

    Mighty ore deposits were found here as early as 1855 and mined with great interruptions, both in opencast mines and via shafts and tunnels.
    It was not until 1935 that systematic ore mining began in large-scale open-cast mining. Mining ended in 1957 when the deposit was exhausted.
    In the final phase of ore mining in Mücke, a large part of the Ludwigssegen pit could no longer be completely backfilled because no new overburden was available. Today it is used as a foundation pond for the municipality of Mücke.
