Tips

Hunsbuckel 🇺🇦

In 1880, Friedrich Wilhelm Franz from Wohnroth began digging a tunnel in the Katzenloch forest. He wanted to mine the coveted roofing slate here. However, the work was not crowned with success, the slate was of little use. He wasn't blue enough, as the technical term goes. Not hard enough we would say, it weathered too easily on the roof. So the work was soon abandoned. Today, the short, angled tunnel, also known as the Schnäirersch Leyebruch, is often used by children as a playground.

Not very deep, but certainly an adventure for smaller children.
