In the language of the island, the piece of land with the 3 tunnel entrances in the so-called Kupferberg has always been referred to as a "gold hole". However, neither gold nor other precious metals have brought any monetary benefit to the citizens of the island in recent times. Rather, after mining was abandoned in the 1930s, the tunnels served as a place of refuge from bombing raids in World War II.

Interesting information about mining in the region and the discovery of gold coins by Italian railway workers. It is also worth taking a close look at the tunnel entrances up in the rock. Great place to take a break, about halfway along the Ahr cycle path.
