    Tips

    If one does not take the broad path to ascend or descend on the Meuselbacher Kuppe, but the narrow footbridge through dense forest on the mountain flank, one passes the Leuchtmoosgrotte. It is a spilled lug entrance. Until 1821 red iron stone was extracted for smelting in several tunnels. In the tunnels, there was the rare, blue-shining moss, which thrives only with one / 500th of daylight to thrive.

      We arrive at a buried entrance to the Leuchtmoosgrotte, named after a very rare moss, where red iron stone was once mined.
