Multiple Uses of the Roter Bär Pit
The Roter Bär Pit serves multiple purposes today. Besides being a visitor mine, it is also used for drinking water extraction and provides a winter shelter for bats.

There is a strong emphasis on preserving the mine's original condition as much as possible, adding to its historical authenticity.
