As of April 2023: Great and interesting tour. Prior registration is currently mandatory, so don't just drive there and hope that you can go into the tunnels. Toilets, a small kiosk and a sale of gemstone products are available at the entrance. It is also great for hiking around the tunnel.

The Steinkaulenberg Gemstone Mine is the only mineral mine in Europe that is open to visitors. I was surprised at the amount of gemstones to be seen in the mine's galleries, so I highly recommend a visit; However, you have to register online or by phone in advance. The path through the mine takes about 1 hour and is barrier-free and therefore easy to walk on. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the mine.

𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗵 In the early days, the Wildfrauenloch was associated with the goddesses of the Celts. As a rule, these were holy places where homage was paid to these gods. Since then, many stories and legends have grown up around them. So also the legend of the wild woman in Baumholder: After the defeat of the Huns on the Catalaunian fields, they withdrew to Hungary. They are said to have left a Hun woman of unusual size and wildness in this area, also called "wild woman". Their weapons are said to have been a crooked Hun dagger and a mace. Their food consisted of berries, roots, herbs and the raw meat of slain deer, stags, boars and wolves, which they pounded tender between two stones. She was not only considered a bold robber, but also a scary cannibal. However, the men could not catch them even with combined strength. Because in the event of an attack - according to tradition - she simply closed her cave with a heavy boulder so that nobody could move it. Source: text information board

The legend of Odel's Uwe Odel's oven (Uwe) is a rock cave in the shape of an oven from earlier times. It is located in a forest ravine between Kronweiler and Nohen and is popularly known as "Odel's Uwe". The saga exists in two variants: 1. An outcast castle woman, the wife of a knight from the Nahegau, is said to have lived in this cave until her repentant husband brought her back to his castle. A hen shared the lot of exile with the innocent. For feeding it ran daily to the other chickens in Kronweiler, but kept returning via the so-called "Hinkelspfädche" 1 back to the cave and laid an egg there. 2. A woman named Ottilie "Odilche" is said to have lived here during the Thirty Years' War. After her relatives and the other residents of her village fell victim to armed attacks and illnesses, she withdrew here. Thick bushes made the cave almost impossible to find, and a clear brook provided the necessary drinking water. Two chickens, which took turns laying an egg a day, made sure that the poor woman did not starve to death. It owed it to them that it was preserved until the time when things were in order again made it possible for her to return to her own kind. The legend about the wife of a knight has no basis and was probably based on the Genoveva legend. The second version, which refers to the Thirty Years' War, on the other hand, has a historical background. At that time, remote and protected places - if no castles or fortified cities were accessible - often offered the rural population the only protection for their lives when enemies approached. The local residents used Odel's stove as a refuge, which probably led to the origin of the legend in later times.

There is a small wild fireplace in front of it, next to which wood that has already been collected is piled up. As we have also briefly considered, hikers in the vicinity have probably stayed here under the rock. Or was it old Ottilie? ;)

If there wasn't a sign indicating "Odels Uwe" (Ottilie's cave), you could easily overlook the cave, which can be reached somewhat above the path and via a serpentine path. In the low but spacious cave there is a small treasure chest from which children can take a stone with them.
