The show mine Knappenloch Fallwindes was named after the Fallwindes valley, where it is located. It is a short mine tunnel which was created to mine pyrite with a content of gold and copper. The tunel was mined between the 15th and 17th century, but it was not very successful so it was finally abandoned. Today the tunnel is equipped with a solar panel and a LED light system. The trails are developed, and hikers reaching the tunnel are allowed to simply turn on the light and have a look around. The light turns off automazicallyafter 10 minutes. The mine is visited
