Hiking

A plot of land with three tunnel entrances in the so-called Kupferberg in Insul has long been known as the Goldloch. Mining there was abandoned in the 1930s. During World War II, the tunnels served as places of refuge from bombing raids. For Insul children, the Goldloch was an adventure playground for a long time.
