The gold mine 🪙💰 near Oberursel was an experimental mine with several shafts, which probably dates back to Roman times or possibly even to Celtic origins. The visible tunnel now serves as a bat quarters🦇🦇🦇. Please avoid unnecessarily illuminating the tunnel entrance. 🕯️

If you want to know what the name means, you can find an explanation on Riedelbach's website. https://www.riedelbach.de/index.php/landschaft/sehenswuerdigkeiten/frafindersel-fra-von-seel#:~:text=Als%20Frafindersel%20oder%20Fra%20von,Zeit%20der%20ersten%20Besiedlung%20zur%C3%BCckreicht.

There is no recognizable path to the grotto. As everything is overgrown with blackberry bushes in summer, it is better to visit outside of the growing season. Be careful: there is a short, very steep section to overcome, as well as fallen trees/broken branches.

I crawled into the little cave again today. No bears to be seen 😂 At least an angel smiled at me 👌😉

A place steeped in history and surrounded by many rumors.

The Goldgrube (Gold Mine) on the mountain of the same name was an experimental mine with three tunnels and several shafts, probably dating back to Roman times but possibly also of Celtic origin. In 1719, two abandoned old tunnels were rediscovered at the foot of the Hangelstein mountain, and since then, the mountain has also been called the Goldgrube (Gold Mine). The lower and upper tunnels were discovered; the third tunnel, located further south, was unknown at the time. Shortly after the rediscovery of the two tunnels, exploration work began for mineable ore. However, nothing was found, and operations ceased in 1739. Of the three tunnels in the Goldgrube (Gold Mine), only the lower tunnel is accessible; it was explored in 1985. The mine building is fenced and serves as a hibernation area for bats.
