The Auffahrt Adit (Auffahrtstollen) was one of the important tunnels from Rotenstein East .
It is, among with the other Adits belonging to Rotenstein East (Sebastianstollen, Mittlerer (middle) and Oberer (upper) Grafenstollen, also the reason why there is a fairly large rock heap right underneath it, which is still visible from the valley to this day.
Anecdotally there are small, yet nicely bubbled malachites easily found here.
