Top 14 Caves 브라이퉁겐/베라 주변

Beerberggrotte는 Oberer Beerberg의 서쪽 경사면에 있는 Beerbergstein 암석에 위치하며, Rennsteig에서 불과 50미터, 유명한 Großer Inselsberg에서 서쪽으로 약 1.5km 떨어져 있습니다. Rennsteig 바로 옆에 있는 공식 표지판이 동굴로 이어지는 짧은 갈림길을 표시합니다.

Beerbergstein 아래의 작은 동굴

A truly impressive rock gate.

A short detour to the grotto is not necessary if your feet are already aching...for everyone else the extra few meters are worth it

Geological natural monument - Beerbergstein: During the Rotliegend, around 280 million years ago, molten magma penetrated the earth's surface and spread like a blanket over the existing rocks. Most of the rock cover has already been removed. The vein-like ascent channel has been preserved on the Beerbergstein. It consists of pale red porphyry. Small reddish feldspars and, more rarely, small quartz grains are sometimes included in the fine-grained matrix. The porphyry is very hard and resists weathering better than the surrounding rock, which is mostly granite. For this reason, the Beerbergstein is preserved today as a huge block of rock. It is not known whether the small grotto in the Beerbergstein dates back to mining work. (...from information board)

A really worthwhile mine trip by mountain bike to the Merkers potash mine. The tour offers a lot of interesting things and things worth seeing. For example, in the large bunker you can find the largest shovel excavator ever used underground. In the gold room we were also told a lot of interesting facts about the treasures of the German Reichsbank that were stored there during World War II. And the crystal grotto at a depth of 800m is a real feast for the eyes. But the best thing about it were the prevailing temperatures between 21°C and 28°C, even during our visit in December.

Awesome… no more words needed 😉

Great visitor mine in the small village of Asbach (Schmalkalden), very informative tours...
