The Fell visitor mine is a former slate mine set up as a visitor mine in the former Barbara and Hoffnung slate pits in the former Fell-Thomme mining area in the Nossernbach valley, about 20 kilometers east of Trier. Next to the mine entrance is an information center with a mining museum. A mine hiking trail opens up a further twelve tunnel entrances and the former Vogelsberg quarry. On the other side of the valley, you can visit the former Thommerberg quarry and a Bremsberg. The program of the visitor mine includes cultural events in front of the entrance and in the mine itself, the facility is located directly on the Schiefer-Wackenweg.
