Wonderful abandoned basalt quarry with a tunnel in the rock.. the water level in it unfortunately prevents you from getting through at the moment

All information can be found at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibelungenhalle_(K%C3%B6nigswinter) and https://nibelungenhalle.de/

The Nibelungenhalle, opened in 1913 for Richard Wagner's 100th birthday, shows one of the most important collections of paintings on the "Ring of the Nibelung". The Nibelungen saga was the reason for building the hall here on the Drachenfels in honor of Richard Wagner. The domed building in the "Late Art Nouveau" shows mystical paintings of the four operas Rheingold, Valkyrie, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. In the apse with the Wagner relief on the Drachenfels Trachitstein you can see paintings of "Parsifal". (https://nibelungenhalle.de/sehenswuerdigungen-drachenfels/nibelungenhalle/)

Here there is a short piece of rock face with many holes. Since they are the size of a head, they are ideal for “Heinzelmännchen”. The rock consists of karst and the small caves were created by erosion.

The Heinzelmannshöhlen are located on the HöhenLuft hiking trail.

Looks cool from the mountain

Looks really cool 👍
