Long Description:
In den 1850er und 1860er Jahren wurde im Rheinbacher Wald Eisenerz gefördert. Das geschah allerdings nicht wie sonst üblich in Bergwerksstollen sondern überirdisch in Gräben. Aufgrund des geringen Ertrags wurde der Bergbau aber schon nach wenigen Jahren wieder eingestellt.

Die hier ausgestellte Lore stammt aus dieser Zeit und steht genau dort, wo früher auf einer Rampe das geförderte Eisenerz mit solchen Loren transportiert worden ist. Sie wurde von der Stadt Rheinbach aufgestellt, um Wanderer an die Geschichte des Waldes zu erinnern.
In the 1850s and 1860s, iron ore was mined in the forest Rheinbacher Wald. However, this did not happen as usual in mines but above ground in trenches. Due to the low yield, mining was discontinued after just a few years.

The mining car exhibited here dates from this time and stands exactly where the subsidized iron ore was transported with such lorries. It was put up by the town of Rheinbach to remind hikers of the history of the forest.
