周辺の洞窟・トップ20

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!

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.

The tunnel is located in the forest directly on the RheinBurgenWeg hiking trail. A certain spooky atmosphere when approaching cannot be denied.

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.

The legend of the "Well-Weibches-Hole" in short version: The beautiful innkeeper's daughter betrays the residents' refuge to the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War and gets pregnant. After the end of the war she is expelled with her child and both live in the rock hole and have been haunting the gorge ever since.

Really impressive, walk-in slate cave

Upper Laykaul: After a massive rockfall, only a small opening remains from the entrance to the "Obere Laykaul" slate cave, which leads steeply down over leaves and rubble. If you squeeze through the opening, you get into a cave that is a good 8 meters high and reaches about 30 meters into the mountain. Following the folding of the rock, the slate was mined in a trapezoidal shape. During the war, this and the tunnel below served as a shelter for the residents, in which they crowded together during air raids, which is why the place is also called "Zittertal". (Unfortunately, the two highlights Obere and Untere Laykaul were merged by Komoot...)

Really impressive big tunnel. Go in quietly, nothing bites.

Really impressive when you go inside the tunnel

Just above the Brandsweiher pond, between two paths, lies a tunnel presumably belonging to the Prinzenstein / "Gute Hoffnung" mine. The tunnel entrance is sealed with a massive concrete block, but a hole has been carved into the slate next to it, through which slim or small people could slip. The Brandswald forest owes its name not to any possible firefighting activity but – like the pond and several other places on the Prinzenstein – to the knight BRAND VON WERLAU.

Lower Laykaul: Under a huge slate rock, a man-high opening gives access to the huge "Untere Laykaul" cave, which has been expanded with tunnels. At the end of the at least 6 meter high dome, several small tunnels branch out, but they end after a few meters. During the war, this and the tunnel further up served the residents as a shelter in which they crowded together during air raids, which is why the place is also called "Zittertal". (Unfortunately, the two highlights Obere and Untere Laykaul were merged by Komoot...)

Definitely a highlight and worth a visit

Here the flashlight on the cell phone is worth it, so that you can see where it is better not to step in order not to get your feet wet

Interesting insight into the earlier slate quarrying.

in the first of the old slate quarries you can actually walk a bit in the dark tunnels
