Area description
On the western slope of the Roth mountain ridge is the abandoned tunnel mouth of the former Elend ore mine . Behind the tunnel mouth hole follows an approx. 30 m long tunnel of the former ore mine. The unprofitable ore mining was stopped in 1914. The tunnel mouth hole has recently been secured and the history of the mine operation is explained on an information board. The tunnel has at least potential importance as winter quarters for various groups of animal species such as bats.

- “The protected landscape components are to be preserved through suitable maintenance measures, as long as the effort required is justified in consideration of their respective importance for nature and landscape. Such measures consist, in particular, of the professional treatment of damage and wounds, the removal of dead wood, the removal of root brood and (preventive) structural improvements to trees; Such measures are usually not necessary in the field trees, they should then be left to natural development.
