Kogel circular trail (Kogelrundweg)
Until the beginning of the 20th century, the millstone quarry at Gleichenberger Kogel was a quarrying area for millstones for fruit and grain mills, but also for countersinks and building stones. The stone blanks were worked out by hand, block by block. The transport of the heavy stone slabs over steep wooden chutes and with ox or horse-drawn carts was often difficult and dangerous.
The Enzian hut on the forest adventure trail once served as a forge where the tools were sharpened. It was renovated by the "Bergkameraden vom Enzian" and is now a popular picnic spot. (Hut not managed).
