By 1862, a tunnel several hundred meters long was built beneath the rock, keeping the Göhl away from the mine. The construction cost approximately 200,000 francs.
The tunnel is a technical monument to mining engineering from an era when hazards were deliberately controlled while simultaneously harnessing hydropower. It demonstrates how work-related accidents were prevented while simultaneously harnessing resources.

Among the natural meadow relics, visible traces of the former metal industry can still be found:
– Walls from former foundry floors
– Remains of old smelting furnaces
– Stones from former industrial buildings
A small stream meandering through the area further enriches the ecological diversity of this special place.
