The Otto Wolff tunnel was started in 1935 to connect the Leopoldine-Louise mine to the Holzappeler mine. In civil engineering, the pit reached level 25 at 750 m below sea level. The pit was accessed by at least 36 tunnels with a total length of 44 km (including vein sections) and by at least 17 open shafts and 8 blind shafts with a total depth of 4400 m. There were 25 levels down to a depth of 1067 m (= -789.2 m NN) Lots of information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grube_Holzappel

The tunnel leads reasonably straight into the mountain. You should pay attention to your own head, as there is only 1.70m headroom and occasional sharp slate peaks protrude from the ceiling.

Here there is a short piece of rock face with many holes. Since they are the size of a head, they are ideal for “Heinzelmännchen”. The rock consists of karst and the small caves were created by erosion.
