Top 5 Caves 메르크스하임 주변

The tunnel mouth, located directly on the L108, leads - partly filled with water and the remains of a railway track - for approx. 50 meters straight into the mountain.

The tunnel is about 100 meters away from the vitality tour, but is signposted

But there is “No drinking water” coming from the source

The copper ore mine on Schloßberg dates back to the middle of the 16th century. It took 20 years to work on the search tunnel. After about 28 meters the copper core was exhausted. Behind the gated entrance stands a statue of St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners.

The Schloßberg spring rises approx. 12 m inside the Schloßberg. It was set in a stone basin and ensured the Naumburg's drinking water supply, including the stately wine house, until the 18th century. From then on, for unknown reasons, the yield of the spring decreased so much that the residents of Naumburg had to rely on the water from the Bärenbach flowing in the valley. The spring still runs as a constant trickle all year round. Source: http://www.baerenbach.de/Freizeit/Baerenroute/Schlossbergquelle/

Hard to drive for the most part as gravel is rough and not paved

So my daughter was a bit disappointed with the "cave". Even as a child, it was difficult to crawl a few meters into the tunnel. But a flashlight helps with the Schinderhannes Cave adventure. In front of the cave there is a small stream and picnic tables that invite you to linger.

Hidden behind the crash barrier in the rear .... a small trail shows it, there is a cave. Be careful, the road is very busy. A small footpath below the vineyards and very close to the road leads there. We came from across the street, via a convenient route, but had to cross the main road, which is best avoided!
