Top 20 Caves 넷펜 주변

채굴이 언제 시작되었는지는 더 이상 정확히 알려지지 않았습니다. 최초의 채굴 허가증은 1811년 10월 5일자로 기록되어 있습니다. 오버도르프 시민 '에버트 호이펠'은 84 x 14미터의 광산 구역에 대한 채굴권을 받았습니다. 1840년의 최초 기록은 광석 매장량이 부족하여 8월 10일에 운영이 중단되었다고 보고합니다. 1840년 이전에는 이 광산이 해당 지역에서 가장 생산성이 높은 광산 중 하나였습니다. 1842년, 국가는 미납금 때문에 신고했습니다. 광산 운영자들은 광미 더미에 쌓인 철광석을 국가에 대한 대가로 제공하려고 시도했습니다. 그러나 철광석의 품질이 좋지 않아 그 가치가 충분하지 않았습니다. 1852년 3월 10일에 철광석과 구리 광석에 대한 광산의 새로운 채굴권이 부여되었습니다. 1858년 12월 2일, Weisser Mann, unterster Hohlerstein, frischer-, junger- und neuer Ruckel, neues-, mittleres- und altes Glücksrad 광산과 통합되어 consolidierte Cornelie 광산이 되었습니다.

Directly opposite this mini cave, a path to the right leads over a newly constructed footbridge to a small, hidden forester's house with a pond. This means that this cave was probably previously used as a game cellar. The cave was specially constructed, which can be clearly seen from the concrete ceiling.

"... Station 15: “Glücksanfang upper tunnel” mine – In the upper tunnel of the “Glückanfang” mine, from 1722 onwards, in addition to iron, lead, silver, copper and zinc ores were mined in two 1 m thick and 80 m long corridors .

"... Station 21: “Theodora” mine and hut – One of the small mines on the Martinshardt, which was run by an independent union, was the “Theodora mine” in the Zitzenbachtal near Ferndorf. After 8 years of painstaking work, in When people looked in vain for ore, the tunnel was abandoned. 266 m of sections 2 m high and 1.20 m wide were excavated in vain and almost 600 cubic meters of rock were unearthed. The “Theodora” mine is now next to the Stahlberger Erbstollen the only still accessible pit in the Müsen area..." https://www.wittgensteiner-wanderland.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/kindelsbergpfad.pdf

How bad must it have been to seek shelter in an old tunnel.. everyone has to decide for themselves whether this is a highlight. Memorial would probably be more appropriate 🤷🏽‍♂️

Very nice highlight 🔝😉 Slightly hidden but worth a tour 👍🏽

@Andre, there was already a highlight here. The original is called mini cave.
