Nice hut with a place to rest. But you can't go into the hut!

This is a site that was inhabited by people thousands of years ago, as can be proven by archaeological finds. Visitors of our modern times are invited to stay at least for a short time. Some will certainly be happy to take advantage of the opportunity offered here after the climb.

To be honest, the name leaves me a little perplexed: why did someone back then come up with the - to me incomprehensible - idea of naming an ore mine in the Hunsrück after the deity Apollo from Greek mythology, and the god of the sea at that?

Unfortunately, the tunnel entrance is blocked by a massive grille. It is also completely flooded. A pity!

At the end of 2022, a "wobbly bridge" was added as an optional crossing, on which you can climb over freely suspended timber.
