This small cave is called "Zwergenloch" and the path is called "Save the trouble" because of a beautiful legend. According to this, the miners' families used to borrow the valuable silverware from the dwarfs for festivals, but only rarely returned it. At some point the dwarves got fed up and didn't give out their valuable silverware anymore, but just said "save the trouble".
When I grew up here, the cave was still open and we played in it as children. After a long, narrow passage, the cave comes at the end. Like a room and there used to be benches there.
Today the cave is blocked by a grid to protect the bats 🦇.

Very nice hiking trail, if you are quiet you can hear the dwarfs singing in the mountain.

You have to walk down to the water. It's important to wear waterproof shoes if you want to take a look inside. It's a bit muddy.
