Guided Story
Can you hear your footsteps echo? This quiet place holds so many stories. Imagine miners walking through these tunnels, their lamps flickering, the sound of their tools echoing around. Look up and you'll see the old mining motto 'Glück auf!' It was a wish for a safe return from the dark depths. Behind you, in the distance, stands the Adolf-Kunze-Steigerturm. From the top, there's a fantastic view of the region, but down here, in the depths of the adit, you feel the closeness to the earth and history. This connection is what makes the Reinhold Forster Erbstolln so special.
