Entrance to the Teufelsstollen

Highlight • Cave

This tunnel "is one of the last experimental tunnels in the Imsbach mining area, excavated between 1917 and 1921 in the desperate search for further ore deposits. It is only about 25 meters long and reached a narrow manganese mineralization at about 20 meters, which, however, turned out to be unmineable."

B-Tunnel Katharinental

Highlight • Historical Site

“The B tunnel in the Katharinental is one of the experimental mines for copper ore that were excavated at the beginning of the 20th century. They should develop new ore deposits to ensure the continued existence of mining. Ultimately, none of this work had any lasting success.
The relatively large cross-section of the route and the irregular shape of the tunnel are typical of tunnel construction from this period, which indicates rapid advancement by means of blasting. - In comparison, the overlying, much older lug is cleanly worked in a typical trapezoidal profile. This shape of the tunnel is characteristic of the mine workings of the 18th century.”

Grüner Löwe Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

The time when the "Green Lion" pit was put into operation is still in the dark. In any case, it was operated as early as around 1718 and was mentioned by name for the first time around 1746, when a newly founded union filed a loan application for, among other things, the pit of the Green Lion.

Copper ore was primarily mined here. The silver that has meanwhile also been extracted.
The pit was operated over three soles. The mouth of the lower gallery is a few meters above the Friedrich pit in the Schweins Valley, but on the opposite side of the valley. The "Middle Stollen" is about 30 meters above this gallery and the "Upper Stollen" is again about 22 meters above it. This “upper gallery” was later mined and the remains can still be seen clearly and impressively.
