    The "Butterbrunnen" is known to many people from Suhl because of its legendary world and its striking location on the hiking trail to the Ringberg summit.
    It is the mouth of a tunnel that is connected to a shaft 50 meters above the mountainside.
    The dump at the approach of the shaft is quite large (25 x 25 x 8 m) and speaks for the largest mining location on the Ringberg.
    It is certain that the description of the mine “Ehre Gottes” by the Princely Saxon mining director J. M. Paräus from 1691 corresponds to our mine.

      Unfortunately not walkable but nice location. Interesting panels with factual references and myths.

        The visit is interesting, you can go up to the tunnel entrance. If you are lucky, you will see a bat hanging on the ceiling.
