    The kaolin deposits from Rappauf, and beyond the B 15 from Schmelitz, have been mined since around 1890. The valuable, locally mined raw material founded the rise of the Tirschenreuth porcelain factory. Even now that the factory has long since closed, the raw material is still in demand.

    A station and sight of the GEOPARK Bavaria-Bohemia. The information board offers a beautiful view of the kaolin pit, but entering is prohibited. The white kaolinite is an essential raw material for the production of porcelain.
