Hiking

Fluorite and barite were mined at the Käfersteige mine until 1997. The Käfersteige area is believed to contain the largest fluorite deposit in Europe. The former tracks that led into the tunnel can still be seen at the former Käfersteige tunnel entrance. The video-monitored access to the tunnel is closed and cannot be entered.
