Even today, blocks of stone with Roman numerals and inscriptions can be found in the mine. It is believed that quarrying continued into the 3rd century, as a coin of Emperor Maximinus Thrax was found in the tunnel. Much later, in the 18th century, the search for ore and copper resumed using state-of-the-art blasting techniques, creating new tunnels approximately 114 meters deep. However, the main tunnel collapsed during this process. Source: https://eifelfuehrer.de/touristische-ziele/geschichtliche-zeugnisse/puetzloecher

The Roman copper mine "Pützlöcher," located between Kordel and Butzweiler, is one of the oldest in Germany and means "waterhole." Here, in the 2nd century, ores such as malachite and azurite were mined at a depth of 20 meters. However, these ores were not found in large deposits, so the Romans later focused on the nearby quarry. The stones from this quarry were used, among other things, for the construction of the Porta Nigra. Source: https://eifelfuehrer.de/touristische-ziele/geschichtliche-zeugnisse/puetzloecher

The Porta Nigra in Trier, the Cologne Cathedral and the Reichstag in Berlin have something in common! The building blocks come from the same area near Butzweiler near Trier. "Pützlöcher" is the popular name for a Roman quarry in which the large blocks for the construction of the Porta Nigra were cut out of the rock. Previously, copper ore was mined here.⚒️

A great bike path runs along the Sauer. Wasserbillig is quite nice for shopping

The best view of the estuary is from the bridge 👍

Sirzenicher Gorge is beautiful. You have to cross the creek several times. If that is too difficult, you can also choose the easy path nearby.
