The former Hörre slate quarry is located on the slopes of the Eder. It reminds of the once important branch of industry. The tunnel systems, which are around five kilometers long, are now an important habitat for bats.
In addition, the rare and non-poisonous smooth snake bask on the slate heaps and special plants grow in the crevices between the stones.

Just belong to the ways of life and work of our ancestors. You can get a rough idea of the work in these quarries if you look at the leftovers. In the old days you could, illegally, enter the old tunnels. That was, according to stories, very interesting.
