The Goldgrube (Gold Mine) on the mountain of the same name was an experimental mine with three tunnels and several shafts, probably dating back to Roman times but possibly also of Celtic origin. In 1719, two abandoned old tunnels were rediscovered at the foot of the Hangelstein mountain, and since then, the mountain has also been called the Goldgrube (Gold Mine). The lower and upper tunnels were discovered; the third tunnel, located further south, was unknown at the time. Shortly after the rediscovery of the two tunnels, exploration work began for mineable ore. However, nothing was found, and operations ceased in 1739.

Of the three tunnels in the Goldgrube (Gold Mine), only the lower tunnel is accessible; it was explored in 1985.

The mine building is fenced and serves as a hibernation area for bats.
