Over a total of 23 km, the 'Mining Route' recalls the history of the former mining industry in the Ronneburg district.
There is not much left visible of the formerly existing mining area. However, if you look more closely, you will find historical indications of this time. With the Federal Garden Show in 2007, the landscape around Ronneburg was redesigned with landscape architecture. The fact that an open-pit mine used to be located where the Neue Landschaft® Ronneburg now stands is now shown only by before-and-after pictures in the terrain. The route leads you further through very beautiful villages through the charming Sprotte valley to Blankenhain and back to Ronneburg. You travel through flat terrain with slight inclines on lightly traveled roads.
