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.
