In addition to a wonderful time travel through the history of coal mining, you can enjoy the beautiful nature and make a detour to an old castle ruins with fantastic views over the Ruhr and the surrounding area. A very versatile hike.

This Göpelhaus is also located on the mining circuit in Muttental. It is reminiscent of the Mosess shaft, which was sunk here in 1840. The tons-length Moses shaft dismantled the Anclam seam and reached down to the bottom of the St. Johannes Erbstollen. Cross cuts were made on the bottom of the Erbstollen into the seams of Stettin, Arrival and Love. After the four seams were exposed and dismantled, the Göpel shaft in Moses was shut down again in May 1847.

Göpelschacht: A Göpelschacht, or horse gopel, is a conveying device in which a horse always runs in a circle and winds a conveyor rope onto a drum. The shaft itself could take several tons but could also lead deeper into the depths.
