It is relatively little known that industrial coal mining was conducted on the Pfänderrücken between 1840 and 1948. From the pre-industrial period, exploratory attempts have been known since 1772. Unfortunately, there are only a few objects left from which we could immerse ourselves into this era. With a hike, we can discover some of these still existing silent witnesses or trace them.
