    The routes start at the entrance of the "Geyerin" pit above the Seiffen mountain church. An orientation board installed here explains the course of the mining trail routes through the former mining area of Seiffen with its 34 stations. At the individual stations, there are signs in the form of a German Türstock with detailed descriptions of the respective locations.

    From April to October, guided hikes with an experienced mining guide take place. Please consult the event schedule at:

    Roadbook

    The large circuit passes by signposted mining dumps protected as monuments and natural monuments, the mouth holes of former adits, replicas of stamping mills, as well as numerous rest areas with wonderful views over the valley of the Seifenbach. The route length is about 14 km and can be walked in 4-5 hours. Since the route passes the town center several times, it can also be done in individual sections.
