ゲーヴェルスベルクのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The Turteltaube mine was a tunnel mine in Bommern in the Muttental valley. The mine belonged to the Herbede district. The mine consisted of two wings, each with a separate tunnel, in the Nachtigallmulde valley and was in operation until the mid-19th century.

The Elbschetalbahn is a truly beautiful stretch of bike path if you want to take a leisurely stroll through the area. It'll be even better once everything planned is completed. But whether it will be possible in the 20s is doubtful...

The job of a miner was always and everywhere a dangerous job. In addition to the everyday dangers of an accident at work, invisible dangers lurk. The fear of death and the "last shift" (miner's funeral) was a constant companion of miners for a long time. In the Ruhr mining region, over 30% of men worked in mining at times. From the beginning of industrialization until the 1950s, fatal accidents were a sad part of everyday life.

Not for everyone. Good hiking shoes and a certain level of surefootedness are necessary here. We were a little surprised by some of the difficult sections on the single trail.
