Guided Story
Look over to where the river meets the Elbe. Can you imagine this quiet river once being a bustling trade route? During the mining boom, rafts carried precious ores along its waters. Picture the scene of people loading and unloading goods along these banks. If you turn around, in the distance, you can spot the König Friedrich August-Hütte. It was a key site for metal processing. The calm you feel here now is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of those days. Take a moment to soak in the stories these waters still tell.
