Schlossberghohlen

The underground network stretches across 140 meters in length and 60 meters in width, featuring natural red sandstone formations throughout the passageways.

The caves originated as quartz mining sites in the 17th century and remained forgotten until their rediscovery by children in the 1930s.

These caves earned recognition as both an architectural heritage monument and a protected heritage site in Saarland, preserving regional mining history.

Tours operate daily from April through October between 9 AM and 5 PM, with protective helmets provided and temperatures maintaining 10 degrees Celsius.

During World War II, the cave network transformed into an air raid shelter, complete with a bunker area constructed in the 1950s.
