    In the mining and slate town of Lehesten. The city is located in the Geopark "Schieferland" on the Thuringian-Bavarian border in the heart of Germany.
    The "blue gold", as the slate is called here, has made the small Thuringian town internationally known. The largest open-cast slate mines on the European continent have been here since the 13th century. These shaped and still shape our unmistakable region.
