The old tunnels in the Hunsrück make the region an important habitat for various species of bats. Here you'll find one of these tunnels, which can be lit outside of hibernation times so you can take a look inside.

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.

Roof slate The roofing slate deposits of the Hunsrück date back to the Lower Devonian period around 400 million years ago. They were formed from clayey marine deposits, which later solidified into layered claystones and were "slated" during the folding of the Rhenish Slate Mountains. Foliation is a consequence of the directed pressure in the earth's crust during mountain formation, during which the mineral components of the claystones align in parallel and partially reform. Roof slate is the name given to clay slate in which the layering of the claystone and the foliation run parallel. This makes it possible to split large and thin plates. The Hunsrück slate, which is characterized by its uniform gray-black color, weather resistance and easy splitting, is one of the best varieties of German roofing slate deposits.

Roofing slate mine - long tradition There are three roofing slate ranges in Rhineland-Palatinate. The camps previously mined in the region at Wirschweiler, Sıesbach, Sensweiler, Kirschweiler, Breitenthal, Kempfeld, Sonnschied, Wickenrodt, Mörschied, Wörresbach and the important Bundenbach mines between Rhauer and Bruschied were all on the southern Birkenfeld -Binger train. It runs from the northwestern foothills of the Hochwald along the eastern slope of the Idarwald to the Rhine and beyond. The extraction of roofing slate in Rhineland-Palatinate has been proven to date back to Roman times. Corresponding finds were made in the Mayen area. However, the beginnings of roofing slate mining in the Hunsrück can only be determined imprecisely. In 1482, the mayor of Herrstein was issued a letter of inheritance in which he was promised the use of "Leiengruben" in return for tithing. Helbach reported around 1600 that the slate was sent to other landscapes. However, the rock certainly only acquired particular economic importance when it was... had begun to prepare it for roofing. Instead of the low straw and shingle roof, the steep slate roof took place. This progress in house construction was achieved only hesitantly in the 18th century through regulations against the fire-hazardous straw roofs. In the Oberstein rule this took place in 1719, while in the Birkenfeld offices and Allenbach, the strict ban on straw roofs and wooden chimney stones was pronounced in 1778. In 1855, however, more than half of the houses were still covered with straw. Today, the settlement landscape in the Hunsrück is largely characterized by the blue-gray slate roofs of the villages, although roof slate mining is still in progress Rhineland-Palatinate is now almost completely closed. In 2003, underground extraction only took place in the Eıfei near Mayen and in the Hunsrück near Altlay. The cost-effective processing of imported slate, particularly from Spain, has eliminated many mines for reasons of profitability

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.
