    Here is the excavation chamber of the former Barbara slate pit in Trimbs.
    The Barbara mine belonged to Salomon Oppenheim in 1890.
    The Oppenheim mines Hasenloch in Hausen, Barbara in Trimbs and four other mines in Mayen were combined in 1893 to form the Moselschiefergesellschaft mbH.

    This is the entrance to one of the 37 slate quarries in the former Trimbs slate district. Attention: Due to the danger of collapse, entering the tunnel is prohibited!
