The Maxstollen site on the Eisenberg in Olsberg is a wonderful hiking destination.

The Eisenberg is one of the 43 Sauerland-Seelenorte in the Sauerland-Wanderdorf, www.sauerland-wanderdoerfer.de/. The history of the Sauerland-Seelenorte by Michael Gleich and other useful information can be found at www.sauerland-wanderdoerfer.de/de/Sauerland-Seelenorte/Die-43-Seelenorte/Eisenberg.

The mouth of the disused ore mine tunnel is clearly visible and secured with an iron gate. It is no longer possible to enter the tunnel, but interesting panels explain the mining history of Olsberg. Benches invite you to take a break in the beautiful deciduous forest. The spring at the Maxstollen is of drinking water quality and is also used for Kneipp arm casts during Kneipp hikes.

The Maxstollen site can be reached via the Kneipp hiking trail or the Waldroute. The Gasthof zum Schinkenwirt inn in the immediate vicinity offers refreshments.
