    Lost Place former slate mine

    Forbidden or not, the people who are interested come anyway. So watch out, almost everything has collapsed anyway. It's also possible by far, we've all learned by now.

    The quarrying of gray to grey-green slate began probably around 1865. Of course, this mining work with its additional required side branches was not inconvenient for the locality and the surrounding villages. Due to the extensive tasks for the dismantling work, there was an upswing and a certain prosperity for the inhabitants. From 1939, mining was shifted to slate chippings.

    Hiking

    Entering the slate mine is prohibited for safety reasons. The trail is still open in maps and is left behind by nature. Anyone who sets off anyway should be sure-footed when crossing the shale contents and suitable for height. The remains of the opencast mine, crumbling factory buildings and shale contents can be seen.

    Don't forget flashlights, including spares. It's quite large.
