Hiking

One of the many tunnels in Ramsbeck is the Josephus tunnel in Bastenberg.

At the time of mining boom (1815-1850) many new tunnels were built. Through this tunnel, the small-grained ore was transported to the nearby Poch washing treatment.

Hiking

In some tunnels it is possible to look inside. The light can be switched on manually. In addition, some benches and tables invite you to rest.

The tunnel is approx. 100m long only 29m above the level of the Valme. A light switch outside allows you to look deep into the tunnel.
