Schieferloch Dreihansen

The Schieferloch offers a lot of romance in every season. In summer it also invites you to cool off.

Here you get a point for the digital hiking pin at SummitLynx.
The slate hole in Lößnitz OT Dreihansen was used as an open-pit mine from the 19th to the early 20th century. Here slate was broken and split. After the decommissioning, the site served as a natural theater for a few years. Today, filled with water, people like to bathe in it.

This slate hole in Lößnitz served as an open-cast mine from the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century in which slate was broken and split. After it was closed, this opencast mine was converted into a “natural theater” for a few years.
Today the slate hole in OT Dreihansen is filled with water and nature has made it a beautiful feature of Lößnitz in the Ore Mountains.
