Tips
The Steinkaulenberg takes its name from "Kaulen", meaning digging for precious stones.
Along the way to the Edelstein visitor mine you will pass a large number of tunnels. After a dozen, I stopped counting.
These are usually closed with wooden gates, but some of them have either broken open or simply fell over due to old age, so that several tunnels are accessible.translated by
