The "Friedensstollen" (show gallery), closed in 1960, is the starting point of the mining trail. Along the trail, you can learn how lignite was mined in those days at original sites of Ratten mining with the help of boards.
The blue and white markings of the mining trail start at the mining museum - in addition, yellow boards with the inscription Mining Museum show the way.
Author’s recommendation
Also visit the mining museum in Ratten - a small museum in a former gallery, which fits perfectly with the mining trail!

Equipment
Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top.
An emergency kit belongs in every backpack!
A clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
A good hiking boot is a good companion and should never be missing on the mountain!
