Tips from the Community
Unlike classic sundials, time is not indicated by a shadow, but by a strip of light that a mirror at the end of the gnomon casts onto the mosaic. This narrow strip of light, unlike a shadow, does not move from left to right, but from right to left.

First, you walk through a low tunnel far into the mountain, where you are finally given a detailed explanation of the working conditions in former times and what happened in the tunnel during the Second World War, including the construction of the first fighter jet. After the mine tour, you continue a bit further down to the largest underground lake in Europe, where you take a short boat trip. The lake is very clear, the air is great, and the lighting is also very beautiful to look at. We went to the Seegrotte purely by chance and were lucky enough to get a private tour, as apparently no one else wanted to visit the grotto at lunchtime. Our guide was very nice, explained everything in great detail, and in the end, we were even allowed to do two laps on the lake.

Construction of the Othmarkirche began on May 13, 1454, under pastor Johannes Hinderbach. An inscription above the main entrance commemorates this. Before that, six predecessor churches had already stood on the site of today's Othmarkirche. The oldest proven predecessor church was a Carolingian church in the form of a small choir square church from the 9th century.
