The path leads through two consecutive rock breakthroughs. But be careful, the headroom is very limited.

A few meters away from the Soonwaldsteig at the bridge over the Steinbach, an unslated tunnel leads into the mountain. After about 40 meters, a mining dome opens up, from which another tunnel leads off and where a small bench was improvised. A tombstone documents the lifetime of a Philipp Schmitt (1869-1951). About the history: The "Altlayenkaul" pit near Rudolfshaus below Bruschied dates back to the 17th century. According to entries in old church books, 13 miners died there in 1740 when a mine collapsed. There is a document from 1840 in which King Wilhelm IV of Prussia granted the mining rights to this pit to the predecessor of the Drescher family. The Drescher family acquired the mine in 1875. In 1953 the Katharinen shaft was rebuilt. In 1956, 2 foremen and 52 men were employed in this mine.

The show mine, uncovered and made accessible in 1975 by the Association for Fossil Friends. In 1988 it was structurally modified so that wheelchair users can easily visit the mine. The historic Herrenberg slate mine is an unusual attraction on the “Hunsrück Slate and Castle Road”. It impressively conveys to the visitor the work of the miner and opens up the world of fossils from ancient times. Mines and widenings inside the mountain lie one above the other like terraces. Fantastic quartz veins alternating with gray-blue slate rock create images of unusual rarity and structure - abstract art of nature. Shiny gold pyrites in the walls and stalactites that have formed on the ridges impress with their genuine beauty and naturalness. Hand-picked tunnels and quarries testify to medieval mining skills, old documents report digging in the 16th century, but there are reasonable signs pointing to slate mining from the Roman era. Fossils, those relics from unimaginably distant geological ages, indicate life around 350 million years ago. Many revealing fossil discoveries have been recovered to this day and are represented in well-known museums around the world. The Bundenbach Fossil Museum is right next door.

On the path from Rudolfshaus down to the Hahnenbach stream (not uphill on the Soonwaldsteig trail!), there is an inadequately secured mine entrance. Even at the entrance, you can see the tracks leading into the darkness for mine carts. The tunnel and tracks extend several hundred meters into the mountain to junctions that lead further into the mountain. History: The "Altlayenkaul" mine near Rudolfshaus below Bruschied dates back to the 17th century. According to entries in old church records, 13 miners lost their lives there in a mine collapse in 1740. A document from 1840 exists in which King William IV of Prussia granted the mining rights to this mine to the predecessor of the Drescher family. The Drescher family acquired the mine in 1875. The Katharinenschacht shaft was newly constructed in 1953. In 1956, this mine employed 2 foremen and 52 men.
