Tips
Surprising geological formation! What at first looks like a normal horizontal shale layer turns out to be a vertically folded rock! During the folding, the layers were separated vertically. These narrow blocks are now lying on top of each other and the erosion is working on the individual, vertical layers of slate.
No wonder that so many slate quarries have emerged here.translated by
