Historical clay mining on the Reiat

Regionaler Naturpark Schaffhausen - Clay mining: We visit a clay pit and brick factory. A centuries-old craft that has also left its mark on the population through immigration.

We start our hike at the foot of the Reiat at Herblingen Castle. From there, the hike starts through the water channels of the last ice age and leads to the clay pits in Lohn. Here we learn interesting facts about clay mining: we visit a clay pit and brick factory. A centuries-old craft that has also left its mark on the population through immigration. We then continue our hike and enjoy the far-reaching views from the volcanic cones in Hegau to the Swiss Alps. We walk past more clay pits via Stetten back to Schlossholz, where we started.
