The grave Tour is an extremely scenic full mining historical trail about 10 km north of Freiberg in Saxony . It leads in the valley of the Bobritzsch from the Wünschmannmühle in Krummenhennersdorf to the fourth light hole of the Rothschönberger tunnel in the municipality of Reinsberg . While it follows the course of the largely preserved eponymous art trench , the mid-19th century to build this up to now the dewatering of the Freiberg silver ore mining servingStollen was created. The entire system of the artificial trench is 3557 m long, of which 1905 m were carved into the rock as a rose and thus run underground.
course
The path first leads past historical high water marks along the Bobritzsch to the mouth of the first, the Buchenbach-Rösche, cuts a river loop and then continues directly on the Bobritzsch to the exit of the artificial trench from the first Rösche, which it then halfway The hillside continues to a former quartzite quarry , where the second rose, the so-called porcelain rock rose, begins. After bypassing the mountain saddle, the ditch continues open again to a gate valve with which the water could be drained into the Bobritzsch in an emergency. There the hiker can marvel at a teat spruce with a detour down to the Bobritzschufer .
Finally, you come up to the dump of the V. Lichtlochs, where the foundations of the historic mining forge have been preserved. The fifth light hole itself is closed, the wheel rooms are filled and the artificial moat is no longer open. Also, all the roses are broken and not accessible.
Shortly after the light hole, the artificial moat reappears and after approx. 800 m leads to the fourth (Buchenborn) Rösche on the Kroatenstein, around which the legend of the thousand-valley jump is entwined. There the old mill ditch branches off to the mill under the Reinsberg Castle . After a beautiful path through high beech forest you reach the Reinsberger Rösche, which emerges again shortly before Reinsberg at the so-called Königslaube and led the water to the IV. Lichtloch to lift rocks, miners, tools and water there too. So the energy of the water was used twice.
history
From 1844 to 1847 an artificial ditch was created for the sinking of the IV and V Lichtlochs , which, as an auxiliary mining system, brought impact water for the artificial and turning wheels on the IV and V Lichtloch of the Rothschönberger Stolln from the Bobritzsch.
The sweeping wheel was used to convey the rock excavated during the excavation and to transport the miners and tools in and out of the shaft. The Kunstgezeuge for drainage were of Schwamkrug driven -Turbines.
The construction of the artificial trench was the prerequisite for the sinking of the two light holes and the construction of the Rothschönberger adit in the so-called opposite direction . It was carried out by the same workers under the supervision of a mining captain .
IV. Light hole
The fourth light hole has been preserved as a historical ensemble with a hat house, shaft or greenhouse, mountain smithy and mountain carpentry and is maintained on a voluntary basis by the fourth light hole of the Rothschönberger Stolln . The 87 m deep shaft is open, and the worth seeing wheelhouse of the two 11.90 m large artificial wheels as well as the vent with which the artificial water flowed off into the Reinsberger Dorfbach after the work was done was uncovered. A historical exhibition on tunnel construction invites you to visit, a functional hand reel and the foundations of the powder tower can be viewed. Marriages are also possible.
