The Rothschönberg tunnel is the deepest and longest water release tunnel in the Freiberg mining area and is part of the Krušnohoří Ore Mountains UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built in 1844-1877. The fiscal (state-financed) part has a length of 13.7 km from the Röschenmundloch in the Triebisch near Rothschönberg to the VIII. Lichtloch in Halsbrücke and an increase of 0.032%. For this purpose, 8 light holes were sunk and the adit was excavated in on-site operation with a width of 2.5 m and a height of 3 m. In the mining area to Langenau (Frankenschacht) there are still a good 15 km of main adits (including Reiche Zeche, Drei-Brüder-Schacht), with side adits to Zug and Großschirma it should be around 50 km.

The 8 light holes, Stollntor and Röschenmundloch can be experienced on the bike tour (Tour d'Lichtloch).

The second light hole is 109 m deep and was powered by an 18 hp steam engine. In addition to the drive and machine house, the facility also included a mountain forge and a powder house. The greenhouse stood on the shaft saddle, which has been preserved. From there, the mined rock was dumped onto a heap that was removed for road construction purposes.
