The mouth of the tunnel itself is not visible from the path. However, the depression is revealed by the slate debris that has been deposited in front of it. But the tunnel is only a few meters deep. About 25 meters above there is another tunnel that has been filled in.

Above the district of Layenkaul (= digging for stones) there is a former pit with 2 tunnels on the slope of the Kahlenberg. Above the large heap of rubble there are still a few foundation walls of the mine buildings.

From the paved bike path you can see the entrance to the tunnel, which you can easily reach through a ford a little further down the stream. The tunnel leads about 60 meters into the mountain.

So my daughter was a bit disappointed with the "cave". Even as a child, it was difficult to crawl a few meters into the tunnel. But a flashlight helps with the Schinderhannes Cave adventure. In front of the cave there is a small stream and picnic tables that invite you to linger.

Because that's really surprising. And apart from that, the region is excellent for hiking.

The cave can only be reached on step stones over the Hoxbach. And besides, only to explore on all fours and with the muddy ground, I preferred to do without it.

So we didn't want to get in on our knees, but at least we dared to walk on the stones across the stream and take a look inside. And we stopped here, beautiful with the sun shining through the trees
