Top 10 Caves エルプタールでの

The cave is hidden in a sheltered spot near the water, where you can easily imagine why the "cavemen" chose it as their place of residence. Today bats live there, so it is closed. But you can look inside and there is a bench and an information board about bats and the Neolithic finds.

You can also go in for a bit

Iron ore and red iron ore were already being mined in the Eisensegen pit and was the largest pit with reel shafts, blind tunnels, opencast mining and a cable car. This tunnel was only built in 1937. Stone pillars on the Aue testify to bridge pillars of the mine railway.

Simply fascinating and definitely worth a visit to the eternal ice. Pleasant cooling off on hot days and you can also linger here very well. A sign explains the phenomenon of "Eternal Ice" in a way that everyone can understand. We will definitely come back here.

Unfortunately closed. Depending on the time, you can watch bats on benches in front of it.

unfortunately you cannot enter the cave

Interesting geological feature. Well signposted and you can feel the cold air immediately.

Eschenau, loading bridge and ore loading station In the Kerkerbachtal north-east of Eschenau, mining in the Eisensegen mine was (again) started as the ore mining was intensified by the National Socialist government. The preserved tunnel mouth bore the mining symbol mallet and iron and the inscription "Eisensegen 1937" over the tunnel entrance. From the mouth hole, the mine railway ran over the foothills to the left of the Kerkerbach and the Kerkerbach, which was presumably, like the meadow, crossed over to the Kerkerbachbahn route on a wooden loading bridge. The double row of bridge foundations has been preserved in the meadow ground.
