In the pit Apollo was searched for ores. In front of the entrance of the tunnel, which is not accessible, there is a beautiful refuge.

To be honest, the name leaves me a little perplexed: why did someone back then come up with the - to me incomprehensible - idea of naming an ore mine in the Hunsrück after the deity Apollo from Greek mythology, and the god of the sea at that?

Only about 50 years ore was mined here in a larger style until 1941.
