"Lichtloch 24" was created in 1852 during the construction of the key tunnel, which supplied the Burgörner settlement with drinking water. The approx. 100 m deep shaft is lined with loose rock. The shaft head, built in mixed masonry, can be visited above ground.

A light hole is a ventilation shaft, which provides fresh air in the mountain tunnel. It is not about the daylight, but the oxygen supply for miners' miners.
