Top 20 Caves ベルトハイムでの

There's always something new to discover here

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.

A beautiful spot... nature 🌳🍄‍🟫

A slate mine with a nice rest area and information board.

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.

This evidence of the former slate mining in the Baybachtal can be found in several places.

The mine path begins with Jupp, the miner carved out of wood, who is a symbol of the miners from Morshausen who mined ore in the lower Theresia mine from 1859 to 1886. The ores were brought to St. Goarshausen-Fellen for smelting. From the Theresia ore mine, the mouth hole of the lowest tunnel at Baybach level near the colliery house, which was built in 1860 for 12 miners and miners, has been preserved and one at the spoil heap level. The various tunnels extended from 250 meters to 20 meters into the mountain and were 10 to 15 meters wide.
