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. Here, the disassembly of limestone can be traced back to the 16th century. In June/July, up to 6,000 wild orchids, also called spotted orchids, grow on the quarry floor. These are only viewable as part of a guided tour.
