The Deep Victoria Stolln is located on the Pockau River below the old Lauterstein castle ruins. A symbolic entrance still exists today from its former mouth hole. However, you can drive into the former “bat hole” a few meters further. This comes from the older mining industry in the 16th/17th century. Century. It was buried for a long time, but members of the local history association did what can be viewed here today.
