    Tips

    September 3, 2023

    On the slope of the "Spitze Stein" there is a mine with the foundations of other buildings on overgrown farm roads, probably a split house.
    The mine is located a good 10 meters above the forest path and is difficult to reach due to the slippery slate rubble.
    Immediately after the mouth of the tunnel, the tunnels branch out. To the left it goes in serpentine lines for 55 meters to a cathedral.
    The tunnel leads straight ahead 35 meters into the mountain and branches off again. Straight ahead you would have to work your way 20 meters over rubble in order to explore the further course. To the left it goes 35 meters to a cathedral, from which a tunnel leads diagonally upwards, in which you would also have to work your way over rubble for about 20 meters before the passage noticeably widens again.
    But you have to be athletic to explore more closely.


    Addendum: On a second visit with support, I explored the area behind the rubble heap. This jumps through the rock and repeatedly leads into new mining areas, from which further, partly buried or filled tunnels lead off, which I didn't follow any further due to the slippery rubble.
