Highlight • Monument

In the outdoor area of the museum, track systems with transport carts, which were part of the braking track for transporting stones, can be viewed. Due to the natural gradient, the stones could be transported to the loading station.

The annual repeat hike from komoot.de/tour/619149302 (December 30, 2021), but much shorter, because the Baudengaststätte was closed this time due to illness. Weather was about the same as last year.

Again and again a very relaxing and interesting round in the Koenigshain mountains.

Today we went to the Königshain mountains again. The aim was the nature trail. Here the grandchildren were able to give free rein to their thirst for research and had a lot of fun in the small group.
