The water channel was constructed as early as the 16th century. It directed water from Wildemann to the Lautenthal mines.
The mines were already quite high up the mountain. Therefore, the water had to come from even higher up. The Lautenthal art channel runs along steep slopes on the mountain.
Next to the channel was formerly a service road. Today this road is a beautiful hiking trail. At many points, you have wonderful views over the Innerste valley.
The hiking trail is 9.5 kilometers long. The signs along the path tell you more about the Lautenthal art channel.
Along the way, you can even see different construction sections of the channel and learn how the water was used in the mines.
