    This old tunnel in Kasselgrund leads through the entire mountain to Bieber!

      From 1871, Prussian geologists swarmed out to look for iron ore and coal deposits, including in BIEBER and the surrounding area, where mining flourished in the 18th century. During geological mapping, the Prussian engineers must have noticed that many springs rise above the valley meadows, which pour into the Flörsbach or Kasselbach after a short distance. Sixteen of these sources were caught. In the very best mining style, walk-in tunnels were dug in which the water was collected and drained towards Frankfurt. This is still happening today as it was almost 150 years ago. 330,000 citizens of the city are supplied with water in this way.
