The Carlstollen tunnel bores over five kilometers through the mountain to below the village of Süß, reaching depths of up to 120 meters in places, and was equipped with 21 light holes (served for ventilation). The tunnels in the Richelsdorf Mountains were just 1.4 meters high and 60 centimeters wide. The entrance to the tunnel is easy to miss; it's located on the slope of the path toward the meadow!

The name KNOTS-KELLER has been a mystery for a long time. Children used to be told that Santa Claus lived here. A closer look reveals the meaning of the name: Because the word “knots” means also means "growth". Growth in the form of a root in the limestone rock. It is difficult to guess how old this root is. Knots, together with cave (= cellar) gives the name KNOTS-KELLER

Nice little cave right on the trail.

Since November 2020, there have again been two hibernation quarters for rare bats (Greater mouse-eared bat and Bechstein's bat) in the former mine tunnels on the Ölberg near Nentershausen. The tunnels were fitted with bat grates and can be seen very well from the path leading past. One quarter is located directly at the junction to the Bergmannspfad, the second about 100 m above (signposted in the direction of Solz).

The "Knots Keller" geotope directly on P 17 is an approximately 3 meter wide and 2 meter high excavation in the shell limestone, which can be traced back to the leaching of gypsum in a dolomite ridge.

Southwest of the sports field, below a forest path, is the mouth of the former Carl gallery, named after Landgrave Carl von Hessen-Kassel (1654-1730). The keystone bears the almost indecipherable year 1720. The 3.6 km long tunnel (other sources say 5.3 km) served to drain the Bauhaus district. Several light holes for ventilation (supply with fresh air) can still be seen in the forest in a southerly direction.

Good views from the tower, and nice route.

Here on the Kirchberg, below the Kattenberg, there is an almost 9-hectare FFH area (Flora-Fauna-Habitat-Area). In 2008 it was integrated into the Europe-wide Natura 2000 protected area system under the name "Gipskarst bei Berneburg". The karst area is home to three inaccessible caves worthy of protection (Berneburg gypsum cave, Carolushalle, Berneburg cave), which are used by native bat species for wintering. The 100 meter long gypsum cave in Berneburg is the longest active water cave in northern Hesse. (Source: RP Kassel, action plan FFH, no. 4925-302 gypsum karst near Berneburg)
