Top 13 Caves ヒンターティーフェンバッハでの

The tour of Europe's only gemstone mine was very interesting. Even the dogs were allowed along.

Numerous tunnels in the Hahnenbachtal valley bear witness to the mining past of this region... these tunnels even have tracks that were previously used for lorries

The tunnel is about 100 meters away from the vitality tour, but is signposted

But there is “No drinking water” coming from the source

The copper ore mine on Schloßberg dates back to the middle of the 16th century. It took 20 years to work on the search tunnel. After about 28 meters the copper core was exhausted. Behind the gated entrance stands a statue of St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners.

The Schloßberg spring rises approx. 12 m inside the Schloßberg. It was set in a stone basin and ensured the Naumburg's drinking water supply, including the stately wine house, until the 18th century. From then on, for unknown reasons, the yield of the spring decreased so much that the residents of Naumburg had to rely on the water from the Bärenbach flowing in the valley. The spring still runs as a constant trickle all year round. Source: http://www.baerenbach.de/Freizeit/Baerenroute/Schlossbergquelle/

I could have explored the right aisle with rubber boots 😕

Old mine tunnel that I don't want to enter because of the risk of collapse.
