A relic of rapidly developing tin mines in the 16th century. Water was used for washing of extracted tin ore and also for mining machines. The ditch is 12 km long and approximately 2 metres wide.

Ice Pit and Wolf Pit
Ice Pit is a 15 metres deep narrow ground depression, the rest of a mine Jiri, nowadays partly swamped by boulders and rocks. Due to its narrowness the air circulation is very slow in the pit causing a special temperature regime with never melting cave ice. Ice Pit is a part of a local natural resort called Wolf Pit, a large rock gorge created by the depression of undermined terrain, in which rests of old ruined corridors and chambers are visible. The original mine Wolfgang was one of the largest and deepest (up to 85 m) mines in local mining area.
