Top 5 Caves ノイキルヒ/ラウジッツでの

nice place at Spreelauf

The traditional mining association Hohwald has put something together here: information boards about the tunnel and the history, benches, a rest area, a guest book! Great. The way to get there has to be found first.

Probably an old drainage tunnel for the mine above.

Very nice insight into the history of mining at Valtenberg.

Spreetal right!

A cut in the granite rock, often called the robber's cave. Before and after there are also climbing rocks with appropriate safety devices that are hammered into the granite.

The boulders partly form caves, the terrifying Pan Dietrich is said to be up to mischief here at night. On the right-hand side of the path between Mönchswalde and Wilthen is a mountain covered with coniferous wood, which is called Pan-Dietrich. That is what he is called after a wild robber baron who plied his trade there in the times of the law of the fist, oppressed the area from his castle, indulged in highway robbery on weekdays and hunted on Sundays and public holidays, cruelly treating the game Death rushed and the farmers' fields were devastated. In life everything went as he wished, but in death God's punishment met him. For he is condemned to eternity to go about as a night hunter in spring and autumn. From his ruined castle, which now consists only of a mass of stones thrown together in a circle, the noisy hunting party rises, circles a few miles, and disappears into the mountain at dawn. St. Bonifacius, who often in vain warns the knight to give up his wild life, strides ahead of the procession. But death rides behind, a skeleton of legs on a great owl. Its appearance is said to announce war, plague, death, undergrowth or other misfortunes.

The path can hardly be found. At the beginning completely disheveled and then overgrown with weeds up to the chin.
