<< The cave in Herpel >> "...The mine tunnel was first mentioned in 1912. At that time, farmer Josef Stahlhacke was looking for clay for his farmhouse and came across the cave. There were also stories that the farmers from Schreibershofer Grund suspected a copper ore vein. The rich ore vein never materialized. The hammer and tunnel became the property of the coppersmith Georg Scheiteler, who went bankrupt and committed suicide. During the Second World War, the cave served as an air raid shelter. Some of the older Herpel residents can still remember how they sought shelter from bomb attacks with their parents and siblings in their childhood. 52 years after the end of the war, on June 29, 1997, the buried mine tunnel was reopened. Today it is 22 meters long and has a width of 0.8 to 1.2 meters, and a height of 1.6 to 2 meters. A An attractive hiking rest area has been created, which is used eagerly by the people of Herpel..." https://www.lokalplus.nrw/drolshagen/die-hoehle-in-herpel-ist-ein-lieblingsplatz-der-dorfbewohner-74617

Chic cave.

The cave is actually a tunnel where ore was mined. The ore tunnel is about 30 m long. The tunnel was abandoned again due to a lack of it.

In the cave it is pleasantly cool, especially in summer. Don't forget your jacket!

A nice walking area. Since I don't take a photo of every bench or similar "highlights", I am attaching a photo collage of photos from the region.

22 meters long, has a width of approx. 80 to 120 cm and a height of approx. 1.60 m to 2.00 m. An attractive resting place for hikers was created in the area of the cave entrance.

Beautiful large stalactite cave, unfortunately the entrance has been closed
