Rarely have I seen so many signposts in one place as here in the forest near Müllenbachtal on my hike through the Kaulenbachtal on the tracks of slate mining - not easy to choose the right way but one fact is: No matter how and where you run, it will always as exciting and exciting as you allow it yourself!

An exciting trail. In addition to the old slate quarries, the tracks left in the rock and path by the carts used to transport the slate are also interesting.
