Top 5 Caves 운터예켄바흐 주변

☠️ Cueva de la Muerte – the deadly mercury tunnel Tucked away in the hillside is this former tunnel, once used to extract mercury, now known as the "Cave of Death." Poisonous gas (including mercury vapor) constantly escapes from within, making the cave extremely dangerous. A fascinating, yet threatening, site of geological and historical significance. Tip: Never enter! Even a few breaths in the tunnel can be life-threatening. Observe only from a safe distance and treat the area with respect.

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/

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

Not so easy to find from above. Over the take-off hill, take the narrow, winding path down! Lovely picnic spot with a view and a lovely story about the Fri-Fra Loch!
