Absolute oasis for the senses. There are still tunnels downstairs, but you are not "allowed" to visit ...

From this place you have a great view of the turquoise blue lake. Take a seat on a blanket and enjoy the view! The headframe is located further north.

Timber 👣 & Shakespeare 🐾

September 24, 2019

In a unique harmony with nature, the museum presents the path of roof and wall slate - from extraction and extraction to the artistic processing of the special rock. Get to know the special mining and processing techniques by means of expert tours or explore the facility individually. All historical functional buildings of the 19th century, such as the Göpelschacht installation, which is unique in Europe, and the striking double-split hut, are valuable educational tourist gems.
The centuries-old mining and slate tradition in and around Lehesten in the south-eastern Thuringian Forest is still visible today in many areas of everyday life. In numerous places you can find impressive slate heaps, abandoned open-cast mine holes and splendidly roofed houses with the typical blue-black slate roofing.
