The person in the gatehouse on the Veilstone City side mentions this place as a "mess". However, there are some things to look around here for, as well as many trainers to fight.
As you are going south at the end of the fence line is Pyschic Abigail. Behind Abigail is a berry patch. Go to the right and resume south then go along the trees to find an X Sp. Def(DP). Go back up then take either two paths then you will find PI Carlos and Collector Brady. Continue south and you will find Beauty Devon. Up north past Devon in the trees is a hidden Honey(DP). Continue south and you will find Psychic Mitchell. To the left of Mitchell in the grass is a bare spot that has a hidden Heart Scale. Go back out and continue south until you run into Collector Douglas. Go north of the sign to find a Big Root then head back south and go to the grass patch with the Honey tree to find a Max Potion(DP). Now head north onto the mountain and you'll find Ruin Maniac Hunter. Continue north then take the stairs down to find Collector Jamal and in the bottom right corner of the grass in a bare spot is a hidden TinyMushroom(DP). Go back north up both stairs then you will find Ruin Maniac Bryan. Stay along the mountain and use Rock Smash and continue north until you hit the end of the mountain and you will find the Maniac Tunnel.

A Ruin Maniac is digging away in the mountain. Pick up TM28 (Dig) and talk to him. He proposes a contest where you catch Unown and he digs away. Catch 10 different kinds of Unown to find the tunnel much longer, and catch all 26 to discover he has plunged through into Solaceon Town and into a room with the last two Unown, ! and ?.
