    Just above the Brandsweiher pond, between two paths, lies a tunnel presumably belonging to the Prinzenstein / "Gute Hoffnung" mine. The tunnel entrance is sealed with a massive concrete block, but a hole has been carved into the slate next to it, through which slim or small people could slip.

    The Brandswald forest owes its name not to any possible firefighting activity but – like the pond and several other places on the Prinzenstein – to the knight BRAND VON WERLAU.

      The tunnel is located in the forest directly on the RheinBurgenWeg hiking trail. A certain spooky atmosphere when approaching cannot be denied.
