Top 8 Caves 마리엔펠스 주변

The somewhat overgrown path to the cave suggests that either a lot of hikers are taking photos here, or that something is living there. I didn't look closely and just took a photo.😏

Take a flashlight with you

Not easy to find in summer (sign fallen and heavily overgrown), easier to find in spring

Flashlight required. It goes about 50 meters into the mountain

Definitely take a flashlight with you. It goes about 50 meters into the mountain

Nice tunnel, you can go in about 20 m. Don't forget the light.

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.
