Grown over skeleton of ore processing building by former mine and war prisoner camp at Rolava.

Middle level of this monumental concrete building is already grown over by forest, but the construction still tickles bypasser's imagination, as other remains like round thickening tank, house ruins, concrete covers of shafts and prisoner barrack's foundations do. A tin mine with tradition from 16th century was here, last revived during World War II. French and Russian POWs and totaleinsatzte from countries under nazi rule worked here.  Although there are many legends about this place, it was never really important for Germany's industry, being actually unprofitable. But the hale complex is still quite interesting.
