Penig

In Penig’s underground world, visitors can discover where food and beer were once stored in the stone cellars at a constant temperature of eight to ten degrees to protect them from spoiling. Stretching for around two kilometers, the passages run through the rock on three levels, equipped with an ingenious drainage and ventilation system. The cellar tunnels were laid out in 1511, and construction took several decades, probably being completed in 1562. Tour times: 2, 3 and 4 p.m. Participation in the tours is only possible with prior registration via the form at [https://www.penig.de/formulare/form_id/10037128/kellerberge.html](https://www.penig.de/formulare/form_id/10037128/kellerberge.html).
