The ruins of Mont Royal fortress lie above Traben-Trarbach on a bend in the Moselle River and were built at the end of the 17th century by order of the French Sun King, Louis XIV. The complex covered an area of 50 hectares and offered space for up to 12,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses. It was intended to serve as a supply base for the French Rhine Army and to control the central Rhineland. Only eleven years after construction began, following the Peace of Rijswijk in 1697, the French destroyed the fortress themselves in 1698 to avoid surrendering it to their opponents. Today, only a few remains of the once mighty fortress are visible. These include sections of the walls, casemates, cellar vaults, and defensive ditches. A large part of the ruins is overgrown by forest.

All that remains of the barracks, i.e. the accommodation buildings, are numerous vaulted cellars, which have collapsed in many places, creating a huge crater field.

クラウゼン洞窟は18世紀に隠者が住んでいました。アクセスは梯子で行います。特に印象的なのは、周囲の景色を望む自然の岩の開口部からの眺めです。その特別な立地と特別な雰囲気により、この洞窟はこの地域で最も魅力的な写真撮影スポットの一つとなっています。

The mine path begins with Jupp, the miner carved out of wood, who is a symbol of the miners from Morshausen who mined ore in the lower Theresia mine from 1859 to 1886. The ores were brought to St. Goarshausen-Fellen for smelting. From the Theresia ore mine, the mouth hole of the lowest tunnel at Baybach level near the colliery house, which was built in 1860 for 12 miners and miners, has been preserved and one at the spoil heap level. The various tunnels extended from 250 meters to 20 meters into the mountain and were 10 to 15 meters wide.

Great, impressive photo opportunity 🎨📸👍🏻👌🏼 Klausenhöhle KORDEL Visit the Klausenhöhle on the Eifelsteig and Römerpfad premium hiking trails and let the past come to life again. In the 18th century, a Klausener, a hermit, who sought to achieve eternal salvation through a life in complete isolation, probably lived in the Klausenhöhle. It's gigantic to see😵👌🏼

Theresia ore mine From 1859 to 1886, lead, silver, copper and zinc ore were mined from the spoil dump of the lower tunnel sole of the former "Erzgrube Theresia" and transported to St.Goar-Fellen for smelting. The upper tunnel sole reached about 20m into the mountain, the deep tunnel bottom, from the Baybachtal, approx. 250 m. The passages in the mountain followed the ore veins and were in places 10 to 15 meters wide. Because of "impossibility" and inefficiency, the operators stopped mining ore after only 27 years During the Second World War, many Morshausen citizens sought protection in the abandoned tunnels from the artillery fire of the advancing American troops Murscher ores and their origin Around 400 million years ago, the rocks were sediment from the seabed. The layers of different materials (sand and clay) deposited and solidified over millions of years. During the mountain formation 400-200 million years ago, the solid layers were folded into a mountain range by the continental shifts. This folding resulted in deep cracks and cavities. Hot, highly mineralized water made its way up along this path, and over time various minerals crystallized from the water and filled the cavities. The minerals include iron, zinc and lead ores, which were mined as ore veins in the period from 1859 to 1886. Source: Text information board

House on the Bröhl The mine house of the "Erzgrube Theresia" built around 1860 served as the regional administrative headquarters, as a team room for up to 12 miners, and as a residence for the miner. After the end of the mining operation, the owners changed several times and in more recent times the building has been empty for many years and has been asleep. The story began with the hope of rich discovery. The announcement shows who the initiators were, - what plans they had and what legal provisions they had to follow. Source: Text information board
