large rocky outcrop as a shelter and as a wintering place for bats

A slate mine with a nice rest area and information board.

This evidence of the former slate mining in the Baybachtal can be found in several places.

The mine path begins with Jupp, the miner carved out of wood, who is a symbol of the miners from Morshausen who mined ore in the lower Theresia mine from 1859 to 1886. The ores were brought to St. Goarshausen-Fellen for smelting. From the Theresia ore mine, the mouth hole of the lowest tunnel at Baybach level near the colliery house, which was built in 1860 for 12 miners and miners, has been preserved and one at the spoil heap level. The various tunnels extended from 250 meters to 20 meters into the mountain and were 10 to 15 meters wide.

Even if it's tempting: Don't go in (even if the cave is open) and disturb the bats, because then they might not survive hibernation!

Old slate quarry that was left to the bats. The entrance is barred and cannot be entered.

Quaint resting place right next to the former entrance to a former slate tunnel.
