Top 19 Caves ジンメラートでの

Rugged rock faces and a small cave rise up along the slope, revealing the landscape's raw, untouched character. The exposed rocks tell a story that goes back far beyond human history: formed by geological processes, worn away by water and weather, and slowly exposed by erosion. The cave itself feels like a natural shelter, cool and sheltered, evoking images of a time when such places served as refuge, storage, or simple shelter.

The Lourdes Grotto was built in 1903 on the initiative of Father Hesseler, the parish priest of Rohren. It is an expression of the deep piety and trust in God of the people. Even today, the grotto is a destination for pilgrims who implore the Virgin Mary for help in times of need.

Bats hibernate from approximately November to March. During hibernation, their body temperature, heart rate, and respiration rates are drastically reduced to conserve energy. It's important not to disturb hibernating bats, as waking up is energy-consuming and can be life-threatening.

In my opinion, it's more practical. If you park at the foot of the Schlangenberg, you'll have the Schlangenberg behind you at the beginning of the hike and can walk past it on the way back. Theoretically, you could walk past the Schlangenberg both times, but that's not recommended.

Good thing it's locked so the bats have peace and quiet.

The old tunnel entrance of an iron ore mine is located on the geological mining history educational and hiking trail. A very beautiful and interesting path just behind the old mill wheel on the Reifferscheider Bach.
