The tour of Europe's only gemstone mine was very interesting. Even the dogs were allowed along.

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.

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/

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

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.

The Gemstone Mine is the only open-to-visit visitor mine in Europe. Expert guides explain how the gemstones are formed. Opening times are from March to November daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You should register beforehand. We found it very interesting. The temperature is 9 to 10 degrees.

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 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.

Nice tunnels, but from about 1.75 please keep your head down ;-)

Caution, bow your head when you go through this rock tunnel. One of the many nice changes on this dreamlike dream loop.
