Follow the mining educational trail to explore the history of lime mining. Your hike starts at the Kalkwerk Museum, past the White Oven and the Earth Kilns. You can plan a detour to the Neunzehnhain II Dam (dam crest accessible). Then continue to the Neunzehnhain I Dam. Follow the markers and end your hike with a guided tour at the Kalkwerk Museum.
