Tips
Only in the years 1921 to 1924 was the pit in operation, in which the oily roofing slate was mined. However, the oil content in this pit was too low.
The tunnel was about 100m long, with a branch 50m to the right and 25m to the left. In 1965 a school class explored and mapped the tunnel.There is a large, rustic picnic bench along the way.
A bridge leads over the Wohnrother Bach, which uses a twin trunk as a pillar.On the opposite side in the district of Wohnroth there is a previously abandoned slate mine "unterm Uhligkopf", which Komoot has thrown together with this in the Buch district.translated by

Cozy resting place, which is located directly next to the entrance to the Balduin slate pit and the Wohnroter Bach.
The slate quarry is not accessible.translated by•November 4, 2018
