Top 14 Caves アンベルク・ブッフホルツでの

Mining began in Cunersdorf in the 16th century. Due to its high yields, the mine quickly gained renown. From 1536, a yield of 2,409 guilders per share was achieved within two and a quarter years. This was primarily due to a very rich silver ore vein with silver contents of up to 40%. However, yields declined again in the following years.[2] During the sinking of a pilot shaft, the year 1551 was discovered at a depth of more than 125 m.[3] The current entrance to the Dorothea adit was created in 1853.[4] Initially, only silver ores were mined; later, nickel, copper, uranium, and cobalt ores were added.[3] After the Second World War, in 1946/47, the SAG Wismut began searching for uranium in Annaberg-Buchholz, including in the Himmlisch Heer Dorothea mine. Uranium mining was short-lived and ended in 1958. Source: Wikipedia

A little below the path, we see the entrance to the Garisch Mine. Almost hidden, nestled quaintly among the greenery, first mentioned in 1490, the mine ceased operations in 1911. We take a few steps inside and are surrounded by thousands of mosquitoes. https://youtu.be/jglyT269hvE

A beautiful corner for hiking

Hieronymus Lotter was named as the owner of the Garmisch mine around 1565. Station 12 of the mining trail is located here.

The money cellar, which is connected to an old legend....money does not make you happy after all 🤷
