    Tips

    In the past, several roof slate pits were operated in the Baybachtal, below the Schmausemühle you can still find spoil heaps and tunnel entrances that were driven a few hundred meters into the mountain. Up to 40 workers were employed there in 1921. The mighty slate slabs can still be seen in the earth outcrops.

      Old slate quarry that was left to the bats. The entrance is barred and cannot be entered.
