In the local language, the plot of land with the three tunnel entrances in the so-called Kupferberg has always been called the "gold hole". However, neither gold nor other precious metals have brought monetary benefits to the citizens of the island in recent times. Rather, after mining ceased in the 1930s, the tunnels served as a refuge from bombing raids in World War II and for a long time as a secret adventure playground for children. In the summer of 2015, the area was cleared by the local community. The mouths were then professionally closed and secured. The forecourt has been converted into an information center about the mines with a miner's hut. This also serves as a shelter for hikers and cyclists. The open spaces inside the hut are equipped with information boards on geology and the importance of mining for the Eifel and vividly convey the history.
