Tips

Hunsbuckel 🇺🇦

July 20, 2021

Hiking

On the Hunsrückhöhenweg or the European long-distance hiking trail, the path leads past a slate tunnel at one of the highest points. After about 15 meters, the tunnel leads into an approximately 3.5 m high cubic dome, from which further tunnels branch off. With a bit of crawling you can get about 50m far.

Mountain biking

Anyone who dares can enter the cave.
After about 20 meters it becomes a larger vault.

The whole area is criss-crossed with old slate mines. When driving, always pay attention and explore.
