Kalkbergwerk am Königsberg

The Kalkbergwerk am Königsberg consists of an extensive network of tunnels and chambers carved into the limestone deposits beneath Königsberg hill.

The mine played a central role in regional construction projects, providing essential limestone materials throughout different periods of industrial development.

This preserved mining site demonstrates the technical methods and working conditions of miners who extracted limestone in the North Palatine Uplands.

The mine offers guided tours through its underground passages, with marked paths and information panels explaining the geological features and extraction processes.

Located between the Lauter and Talbach streams, the mine forms part of a landscape that includes three castle ruins and an ancient Roman road.
