Guided Story

As you wander through this historic settlement, imagine what life was like here over a century ago. Back then, this was a bustling hub of miners heading to the nearby Wiesche mine. Take a look at the sturdy houses—they were built to withstand the tough conditions of the miners' lives. Can you hear the wind rustling through the trees? It used to be the sound of hammers and the clatter of carts echoing through the streets. If you look to your left, you'll see the Rumbach stream winding through the landscape. This stream once marked a natural boundary for the settlement. Did you know that the street here was the main route for workers heading to their shifts? Every stone, every brick here tells a tale of hard work and community spirit.
