    On the well-marked Stollenweg, marked with number 76 on a blue background, hikers follow in the footsteps of mining at Hoher Peißenberg, whose heyday began with the driving of the main mine tunnel in 1837. A total of 15 information boards along the circular route convey interesting details about bituminous coal mining and the coal deposits around Peißenberg, as well as the ice age-shaped landscape in the Alpine foreland.

    The Stollenweg, designed as an educational trail for mining, geology, and landscape, begins on the grounds around the Tiefstollen and the Peißenberg Mining Museum. Passing near the Sulzer tunnel and the Mittelstollen, the path leads partly steeply uphill through the forest until open terrain is reached again in Vorderschwaig. From the road to Hinterschwaig, hikers enjoy a magnificent Alpine panorama. After another, albeit relatively short, forest section, Hohenpeißenberg is reached.

    In the district of Unterbau is the former Unterbaustollen, which was driven in 1847. This was 10 years after the main mine tunnel where bituminous coal mining at Hoher Peißenberg began in 1837. At Unterbau, a complete mining operation was established at the end of the 1880s, which remained in operation until 1944, employing up to 450 miners. A narrow path leads from here through the forest to the east, before passing the Weinbauer estate and the St. Georg chapel back to Peißenberg.

    Author’s recommendation

    Visiting the mining museum at the start and end point of the route is highly recommended.
