    The Klingenberg clay mine is located on the eastern outskirts of Klingenberg am Main on the edge of the Bavarian Spessarts. Very high quality clay has been mined there since the mid-16th century. It is one of the oldest clay mines in Germany. The clay mining helped the city to great wealth. The clay mine was closed in 2011 after 270 years of mining for profitability reasons.

    If you walk up the Seltenbach gorge, you will come out at the former clay mine.
