The vaulted passages in the Kaßberg are an underground hollow structure. The structure is not of a mining nature and was used to store wine, beer, and other foodstuffs. The vault was first documented in 1531. For Chemnitz, the underground realm was equivalent to a giant "refrigerator." Seven years later, the mineralogist Georgius Agricola discovered the excavations for himself. He took various rock samples from the beer cellars and conducted investigations. Due to a new brewing and dispensing regulation by the Royal Saxon state government in the 18th century, the brewing of lager beer was discontinued. The Kaßberg cellar fell into increasing disrepair. In the 19th century, the passages were rediscovered, and wine and beer were once again stored. https://www.chemnitz-online.de/gewoelbegaenge-im-kassberg.html

Switch still adjustable, tunnel accessible

A beautiful zigzag path down, surprisingly this year you can ride it without getting off. The rest of the way to the bridge is unfortunately still made difficult by a few fallen trees, so you have to get off quite often. But it's still a nice ride.

great corner, always worth a trip

Small cave along the valley, which of course also has a legend.

Chemnitz - Capital of Culture 2025 - is definitely worth a visit

In the past, the vaults were used to hide and cool beer. During times of war they served as air raid shelters. Part of it is accessible and there are also interesting guided tours.
