Top 9 Caves エルツァッハでの

The cave is not deep but is great for exploring or just exploring

One of several options for a hike on the Balzer Herrgott premium hiking trail (12 km). Sufficient parking capacity available.

The entrance to the basement is provided with a lattice

Currently closed due to falling rocks 🚷

The small cave is a small highlight. You can light a small fire here and sit comfortably. Please be sure to put out the fire before leaving. We have already observed it several times that the fire was still on.

very nice place to rest

The Caroline mine is one of the oldest accessible ore mines in the Black Forest. If you want to travel back in time to the working world of the Middle Ages, this is the right place for you. One of the special features is that the historical development between the 13th and 18th centuries can be easily reconstructed through datable finds and documents. The pit rooms, carved by hand from the hard basement rock with mallets and iron, are of particular aesthetic beauty - quasi “sculptural work” underground. The geological history of the development of the ore and mineral veins, which is around 300 million years old and can be understood here in the truest sense of the word, is also fascinating. The pit is located on the edge of the forest in the idyllic Eberbachtal in the Sexau district of Eberbächle, exactly opposite the imposing castle ruins of the stronghold. A considerable part of the historical facilities is accessible via tunnels and an underground shaft; six levels with mining and search terms, further shafts and crosscuts have been exposed today. Among other things, a reel shaft, largely preserved in the original timber construction from around 1530, has been excavated. All pit rooms are well lit and can be accessed safely. Lead and copper ores containing silver (galena, pale ores), which occur in barite veins, were mined. Today they are no longer of economic interest. However, the geoscientific investigation of the ore and mineral veins that were accessible again led to findings that ultimately changed the formation models for all ore and mineral veins in the Black Forest.

A very nice place to recover from the arduous ascent.
