In 1661 a beer cellar was driven into the mountain and after the discovery of a pewter-bearing hermaphrodite passage, a half-timbered building was built and served as a hat house for many years . The building now houses the Aue City Museum. Due to the onset of the mountain screeching , several mining families settled here and were given mountain freedom . The area has been called Auer Berg Freiheit since then . The nature trail leads through the settlement past the Hergertschen Huthaus . This is considered to be the second oldest hut in the Auer mining area. Another board provides information about the Brünnel at Berg Freiheit . The fountain with the fountain house was built as early as 1669. The water was very clear and was used by local residents for over 300 years. At the end of the settlement, the nature trail turns left and leads past other information boards to the mouth of the Upper Vestenburger Stolln . Next to the cheek , a large board explains the location and depth of the existing tunnels. Past the Parkschlößchen the nature trail continues to the errant treasure trove to the northeastern pit field . Here the nature trail turns left into Alte Johanngeorgenstädter Straße. From this street you have a good view of the districts of Nieder- and Oberpfannenstiel and the Nickelhütte Aue . Further information boards explain the origin of the name Pfannenstiel and the blue color factory Aue . The central pit field was on the summit of the Heidelsberg . The mine works and mining methods are explained on the information board. The last stage of the educational trail, the St. Andreas Weißerdenzeche, where “white earth” ( kaolin ) was found for the first time in 1698, is reached via a forest path .
For the way back, it is advisable to follow Parkstrasse to the park attendant near the northeastern pit field. Here you have a beautiful view of the city of Aue. The starting point of the educational trail is reached through the city park.
