Top 20 Caves ボルニヒでの

An impressive natural monument. If you hike the trail in autumn or winter, the next 500 meters to the Rheinblick shelter are very difficult. The path leads steeply uphill to the right of the cave. The rocks are completely covered in leaves, so you have to clear them step by step with one foot to see where you're placing your next foot. The safety rope is of very limited help in this situation. So climb very slowly and carefully, and use your trekking poles judiciously. At the Rheinblick shelter, you can then take a breather.

The path is completely overgrown and slippery!

Beautiful legend and great view of the stream bed

In the slate tunnel - a small lake

Spectacular insight into slate mining

There are several slate mines around Steeg where mining continued until the 20th century. The mines are closed with steel bars for safety reasons.

There are quartz veins between the slate layers. You don't see them very often. The cave is damp from the dripping water, which makes it seem mystical.

I don't want to judge whether the old Schiefernhöhe is a highlight...the path that leads from it back up is definitely it. "Crazy" steep, secured by ropes, absolutely worth seeing and recommendable.
