    Around 30,000 to 100,000 bats hibernate here. NABU has taken over this area.
    It is the largest bat quarter in Germany.

    Hiking

    Today, the old quarry site is home to thousands of bats, making it the most important bats in Germany. The "Schacht 700", a former grotto entrance, was released for the visitors and with a bit of luck allows a view of the bats.

    The mining area is very interesting. The entrance fee for the museum for pensioners is 3.50 euros
