September 2, 2024,Zeche Nachtigall,einmal durch das Muttental

Via the Nachtigall mine through the Muttental with the "old" shafts and tunnels.

A climbing wall and the Hardenstein castle ruins with a Ruhr ferry.

A rest with a "pinch" in the small "mine" that the support association regrets.
To the memorial stone of two mining accidents, representing all the miners.

Good luck
