Spectacular insight into slate mining

There are several slate mines around Steeg where mining continued until the 20th century. The mines are closed with steel bars for safety reasons.

At the foot of the rock wall rising north of the town center, behind the restaurant (formerly Pizzeria La Bella), there are two tunnel mouths, each of which initially leads a few meters into the mountain. Both are connected by a cross tunnel, from which another tunnel leads a few meters into the mountain.

So with these masses of unknown flying objects, we skipped further inspection.

no chance, the vampires were in the majority and the way to the cave was quite adventurous and overgrown

The slate tunnel (it is unclear whether only slate or also ore was mined) leads about 10 m deep into the mountain at the foot of the slope. To the left, there appears to be another tunnel at the end, but this is completely filled with clay and slate rubble. Above the tunnel there is a small slate quarry, the rubble heap of which can be seen from the pond.

Unfortunately, I can't judge how deep the tunnel leads in, because during our visit it was not accessible due to overcrowding with "mosquitoes".

Not far from the fish pond on the Forstbach, a tunnel leads deep into the mountain. The water pipes indicate that a spring bubbling in the mountain is being tapped, the water of which also runs in a channel through the shaft. You can follow the shaft a good 85 meters into the mountain. Torch is required as it gets pitch dark after a few meters. The shaft then goes further, but only with high rubber boots and sticks through deep mud.

Here the flashlight on the cell phone is worth it, so that you can see where it is better not to step in order not to get your feet wet

The tunnel goes in almost 50 meters, and shortly before the end a shaft goes down but it doesn't go any further.

Interesting insight into the earlier slate quarrying.

in the first of the old slate quarries you can actually walk a bit in the dark tunnels

You'd love to know where he is going, right?

I walked past it a whopping 55 times before, on the 56th attempt and with minimal February vegetation, I noticed the gate off the path. The tunnel entrance is very low and secured with a padlock. Exploration 11/22: Actually, only the entrance is a bit low. After that, it's easy to descend 60 meters into the mountain, slightly crouching. After 40 meters, a small mining chamber branches off to the left, followed by a shaft leading vertically down about 10 meters. Roughly estimated, it's about 6 meters. With an opening of about 1x1 meters, a misstep would be impossible to catch and could cause significant damage. It's quite possible that there's a side branch in the remaining 10 meters, and there's definitely a tunnel leading off to the side at the bottom of the shaft. This largely unknown tunnel is one of the sites of the Wellmich-Werlau vein train, which includes, for example, the Werlau shaft https://www.komoot.de/highlight/1371659, the Gustav shaft https://www.komoot.de/highlight/3100074 and the Camilla mine https://www.komoot.de/highlight/1099786 and which ends not far from the Eid mine on the Geierberg near Alterkülz https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grube_Eid.

One of the few tunnels that you can walk through, even if your feet get wet after a few meters because the tunnel is filled with water. To the right of the large cave, a small tunnel also leads a few meters into the mountain, where you can still clearly see the machining marks, as if someone had been drilling and hammering here yesterday.
