In the Assberg slate mine you can learn a lot about slate mining in Kroppacher Switzerland. Among other things, a tour at a depth of 20 meters is possible. But I don't want to reveal more. ;)

The small but fine, walk-in historic slate mine Assberg invites you to a tour worth seeing. Thanks to the volunteer miners who keep it walkable and in good shape. Admission is free. If you want, you can honor it with a small donation.
