Grüner Löwe Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

The time when the "Green Lion" pit was put into operation is still in the dark. In any case, it was operated as early as around 1718 and was mentioned by name for the first time around 1746, when a newly founded union filed a loan application for, among other things, the pit of the Green Lion.

Copper ore was primarily mined here. The silver that has meanwhile also been extracted.
The pit was operated over three soles. The mouth of the lower gallery is a few meters above the Friedrich pit in the Schweins Valley, but on the opposite side of the valley. The "Middle Stollen" is about 30 meters above this gallery and the "Upper Stollen" is again about 22 meters above it. This “upper gallery” was later mined and the remains can still be seen clearly and impressively.

Fantastic view and a great feeling to be at the highest point of the Donnersberg. You should definitely plan it for a visit to the Donnersberg. At 686 meters, it is the highest elevation in the Palatinate. There are many great hiking trails all around with various difficulty levels and great views. Worth a trip at any time of the year.

Adlerbogen–Hirtenfels Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The section before the Adlerbogen is somewhat unpleasant and slippery due to scree. The rest of the trail is rocky and has a few roots.
