    Here was the mouth of the former Simon tunnel. This was in operation from 1866-1905 to mine lignite.

    The Förderverein Kurort Bad Saarow e. V. has installed a board at the mouth hole. The Simon tunnel is one of many that were driven into the Rough Mountains to extract lignite. Don't expect too much. But with a little imagination you can see the moat of the former horse-drawn railway.

    The tunnel was opened here in 1866. Lignite was mined here until mining stopped in 1905.

    There are only a few remains of brick left from the mouth hole. Overburden walls are still well preserved. On the surface, the course of the tunnel can still be seen well next to the path through the collapse of the tunnel.
