Hiking
If you come from the Butzenbachtal, you should keep to the left down the mountain if you want the shorter way to Ramstein Castle. If you have more time, follow the designated hiking path up the mountain to the right.

Hiking
It looks wild here and it's worth exploring a little.
If a visit to the mine shafts is still possible today by arrangement (as in the past), one would have to ask the Heimatverein Butzweiler.

Here, in the 2nd century, ores such as malachite and azurite were mined at a depth of 20 meters. However, these ores were not found in large deposits, so the Romans later focused on the nearby quarry. The stones from this quarry were used, among other things, for the construction of the Porta Nigra.
