Top 6 Caves 오페나우 주변

If you don't look closely, you might easily miss this. Unfortunately, there isn't much to see.

The Untere Sophia mine is one of the few in the Forbach Valley whose entrance is not filled in today. Cobalt was mined there – a unique occurrence in the Northern Black Forest. The mine was first mentioned in 1593; it was probably in operation until 1757, after which it was closed and filled in. The entrance to the mine was only rediscovered around 1995.

The "Untere Sophia" mine is one of the oldest mines in the area. It is already marked on a map by Georg Gadner from 1593. At that time, however, the tunnel was still called "St. Johannis am Friesenberg."

The lovingly constructed grotto invites you to take a few minutes to reflect. A really beautiful and worth seeing detour into the forest!

Here you can see something beautiful, very worth seeing

The caves are right on the side of the path and cannot be missed.

So much history right on your own doorstep

Cobalt was mined there - which was unique in the northern Black Forest. The mine was first mentioned in 1593 and was probably in operation until 1757, after which it was shut down and filled in. It was only around 1995 that the entrance to the pit was rediscovered.
