More than 40 meters deep, dug into the Eisenberg like a ravine, the Schallersbruch is probably the most impressive of the three large roof slate quarries on the Eisenberg. A viewing platform protruding over the edge of the break allows a magnificent view of the interior. The dismantling, established by master baker Heinrich Schaller from Ludwigsstadt, began in 1889.

Absolutely worth seeing. Remember that your grandparents or great-grandparents still worked there
