Well accessible cave. It is very good to see how the millstones were worked out. A good headlamp is recommended so that your hands are free to take pictures. I personally found the cell phone camera too dark

The Nerother Kopf is an extinct volcano of recent date. It was formed about 15,000 years ago when the earth broke up here and glowing magma welled up from the depths of the earth. At that time, a fracture zone formed in the earth rock, which formed the origin of the volcanic chain "West Eifel". https://www.neroth.de/tourismus/nerother-kopf

Millstones were mined in the 18 meter deep cave at the top of the Nerother Kopf until the 18th century. The lava stone was not only mined for the production of millstones, but was also used to build the immediately adjacent Freudenkoppe Castle.

When you enter the Birresborn Ice Caves, the cold comes first. For centuries the so-called "ice caves" were used as ice storage facilities, even in hot summers the temperature does not rise above 7 degrees. Just one of many possible uses over time. The history of the caves as a mining site for coveted millstones is still recognizable today. The millstones were used nationwide to grind oak bark, which was then used as a tannin in leather processing. From quarry to refuge, the caves became a haven during World War II and other times of need. Today bats use the caves as winter quarters, so for nature conservation reasons the ice caves in Birresborn are only open from April to October. Tip: sturdy shoes and a flashlight are recommended for visiting the caves. https://www.gerolsteiner-land.de/a-birresborner-eishoehlen-1

The ice caves were not created naturally, but rather through the mining of millstones. That is why they are also known as "millstone caves" and have been a listed building since 1938. The temperature inside the caves is constantly between -1 ° C and + 4 ° C, so that the icicles and columns of the winter months often persist into summer. The ice caves serve as winter quarters for numerous bats. According to Section 39 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act, the bat protection period begins on October 1st and ends on March 31st. During this period, bats are legally prohibited from entering caves, grottos, bunkers, tunnels and other potential hibernation dwellings. That is why the ice caves are closed in winter. If you want to go a little deeper into the caves, you should definitely bring a flashlight. It is worth it!

The porous stone on the Rother head is ideal as a millstone, as the constant abrasion always opens up new pores that keep the stone sharp. Millstones have been cut from the lava stone here since the 13th century. With simple tools, including swelling wooden wedges, the millstone was carved out of the rock - mostly above the head.

To the north of Gerolstein is the remarkable karst cave Buchenloch, which is located in the dolomite massif of the Munterley. In addition to the remains of Ice Age mammals, evidence of the use of the cave by Paleolithic humans - the Neanderthals - was found here. The stone tools found could be assigned to this time. The animal bones found indicate mammoths, cave bears, wild horses and reindeer as their prey. The archaeological finds are in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier, some are in the Museum Villa Sarabodis in Gerolstein. The cave is about 30 meters long and 4 meters wide and is about 2.4 meters high. You can see the formation of limestone and stalactite, which is triggered by seepage water, which dissolves the rock components calcite and dolomite. The cave is open to the public and can be reached via the Gerolsteiner Felsenpfad.
