    The Untere Sophia mine is one of the few in the Forbach Valley whose mouth is not filled in today.
    Cobalt was mined there – a unique occurrence in the Northern Black Forest. The mine was first mentioned in 1593; it was probably in operation until 1757, after which it was closed and filled in. The entrance to the mine was rediscovered only around 1995.
