The board provides detailed information about the numerous roofing slate mines around Rhauer. Until the 1960s, there were up to 60 mostly small, but also some large, companies in 8 districts. In some of them you can still find the tunnels, mostly barred or walled up, but some are also accessible and some are huge mines. The “Sunshine” pit was located at this point.
