    The Göpel shaft system, unique in Europe, is the heart of the “Historic Lehesten Slate Mining” monument ensemble and the trademark of the slate park.
    The Göpel shaft system was built around 1850, five years after the open-cast mine opened.
    On the north-west edge of the now closed and flooded roofing slate open-cast mine, the Göpel shaft was used to lift mined slate rock and thus stabilize the production flow. The rock was transported to the adjacent double-slitting hut and processed.

      Great hike with an incredible view
      You can't get enough of it
      The slate quarry was in operation long after the fall of the Wall
      The water is crystal clear
      Unfortunately, swimming and diving are prohibited

        The Schieferpark can easily be combined with the Altvaterturm on a hike or bike ride. A really worth seeing and historical place. A guided tour is certainly interesting too (but there is no guided tour on Mondays). More information at schiefer-denkmal-lehesten.de
