Top 10 Caves 얀스도르프/에르츠게베이 주변

카스베르크의 아치형 통로는 지하 공동 구조물입니다. 이 구조물은 광업과 관련이 없으며 당시에는 와인, 맥주 및 기타 식품을 보관하는 데 사용되었습니다. 아치형 통로는 1531년에 처음으로 문서에 언급되었습니다. 켐니츠에게 지하 세계는 거대한 "냉장고"에 해당했습니다. 7년 후, 광물학자 게오르기우스 아그리콜라가 이 발굴지를 발견했습니다. 그는 맥주 저장고에서 다양한 암석 표본을 채취하고 조사를 수행했습니다. 18세기에 왕립 작센 주 정부의 새로운 양조 및 선술집 규정에 따라 저장 맥주 양조가 중단되었습니다. 카스베르크의 저장고는 점차 황폐해졌습니다. 19세기에 통로가 다시 발견되었고, 다시 와인과 맥주가 보관되었습니다. https://www.chemnitz-online.de/gewoelbegaenge-im-kassberg.html

a very nice corner

It is simply a natural cave and not an entrance

In the Middle Ages, people searched for ore here, but apparently nothing was found. The name of the hill, Totenstein (Dead Stone), probably comes from the dead rock. Today, the protected and rare luminous moss grows in the tunnels.

The Karl May Cave, also known as the Little Iron Cave, is located in the Waldenburg Upper Forest near Hohenstein-Ernstthal. Originally a mine tunnel dating back to 1620, it was later used as a shelter. In 1869, Karl May hid here when he was wanted for theft. Five years later, he mentioned the cave in his story "The Rose of Ernstthal." It was officially named after him in 1933. During the GDR era, it was closed to the public. Today, however, it can be easily visited again and serves as a reminder of the famous author.

great corner, always worth a trip

You never stop learning! It took me years to discover this little highlight. Hidden behind the restaurants for the average weekend walker, you can actually find this pretty rock formation. 🪨💚

The money cellar, which is connected to an old legend....money does not make you happy after all 🤷
