Top 17 Caves 발드라크 주변

This year (2025), the Pfalzel Scouts once again cleaned up this area, including removing the wooden structures. 80 kg of trash was disposed of at our expense. We don't know who's acting like this at this place. *Shakes head*

It's a shame that so much rubbish and leftovers from a "camp site" were simply left lying around here. There are other ways to be close to nature. Otherwise it would be a really great place.

Many Matthias brotherhoods from the Lower Rhine pass by here to rest at Ramstein Castle.

If you want to go off the route for an adventure- recommended ;)

Beautiful photo opportunity: Statue on the rocky slope 🎨📸 Perhaps one pauses for a moment...each in their own way... Inscription: "I do not want to be rich nor gain fame. "Nor do I shy away from work, toil, and trouble. "Only one thing I ask of you; O Holy Mary - let me wander, until my last day." 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾

"Southeast of Kordel, we come across a Marian grotto in the form of a semi-cave high on the rocky slope, with a statue and inscription: "I do not want to be rich, nor gain fame. Nor do I want to shy away from work, toil, and trouble. Only one thing I ask of you; O Holy Mary, let me wander, until my last day." The first part seems as if someone wants to keep the poor rural population willing to work; we certainly agree with the second passage." https://www.komoot.de/tour/784587473

From a topological point of view, the Thommen mining area is very homogeneous, since the mining areas did not develop depending on the epoch, but the mining centers remained topologically the same over the entire funding period. The origins of Thommen slate mining can be found in the area of the Sattelberg. At least since the end of the 17th century, two main mining areas were important for Thommen slate mining. On the one hand the districts "Heckenberg" and "Hesselnbüsch" bordering on the district "Sattelberg" and the adjacent district "An der Köpp", on the other hand the actual "Thomerberg" with the adjacent district "Brasilienberg". Until the commercial restructuring of mining in 1863, these areas remained the main mining areas. After 1863, Thommen slate mining concentrated almost exclusively on the "Thomerberg" and the adjoining "Brasilienberg" with the various large mines. Little changed in this constellation until shortly before the First World War. The most productive pits by far, such as the pits "Mertesnaf I", "Mertesnaf II", "Neue Mertesnaf", "Mertesnafergraben" and "Alte Graebenkaul" were located on the natural border between Thommerberg and Brazil Mountain, the so-called "Mertesnafgraben". .

Just beautiful ! Great! 😇👍🙋🙋‍♀️
