Former railway line

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Bumpy go there on the old gravel bed of the railway. Former railway line from Auerbach to Ranna. The iron ore won in Auerbach was transported by a cable car, which began operation on June 20, 1883, from the mine Leonie (shaft I) to the Hohe Tanne until 1903. The cable car was in operation until 1903. From this year, the ore transport took place with the newly built local train from Auerbach to Ranna. In the Hohe Tanne was a stop used by hikers and excursionists like the railway station. Part of the ore route.

Rabenfels

Highlight • Natural Monument

Wow - what a rock wall. Impressive from above, but the way down is definitely worth it. The downhill trail is demanding technical skills with the MTB (S2).
