Great cave below the summit

Impressive place, this old mining pit

If you walk the path through the animal enclosure counterclockwise, you will first pass the Stone Age cave. In addition to the replica of a Stone Age cave, a film about the Stone Age in the Bavarian Forest will also be shown.

Access is at the end of the historic Wuarzbruch. Interested visitors can also find information about the Wuarzbruch and the underground lake on the information board.

Here is (closed) access to the underground historic quartz quarry. During the mining phase, the groundwater collected here and formed an underground lake. Access is blocked for security reasons.

A marked themed circular hiking trail leads from the historic visitor mine to the Gottesgab. The pit offers an insight into the oldest mining period on the Silberberg from the 8th to the 14th century. Ore roasting and ore cutting used to happen directly on the mountain. The red-colored path and the red spots on the themed path still bear witness to this today. The brown iron obtained was then processed into weapons and field tools in the iron hammers at Rothbach. If the visitor stands in front of the God's Gab, which has been wonderfully prepared for tourism, he will be overwhelmed by the play of colors he sees. Depending on the weather and the incidence of light, the rocks glow intensely in blue, yellow, white, brown and red colors. The bluish color comes from the lead and iron content, the red or brown color from iron, the yellow color from sulphur, the white from gypsum; formed during the weathering of magnetic gravel. The colors are efflorescences in the rock. Source: https://www.niederbayern-wiki.de/wiki/Gottesgab
