Not far from the ascent to Schöneck Castle, a tunnel was excavated for slate mining in the rocks. Closed by a grid to protect the bats sleeping there.

A medieval slate quarry is located on the wayside. Here slate was broken for Schöneck Castle.

The slate mine is not spectacular, but just a testimony from a very arduous time that deserves attention ....

Mining is omnipresent here and what is particularly interesting is how many different epochs the mines come from.

Small slate pit from which slate was probably mined for the mills and Schöneck Castle to build the buildings and for roofing.
