The ruins of Mont Royal fortress lie above Traben-Trarbach on a bend in the Moselle River and were built at the end of the 17th century by order of the French Sun King, Louis XIV. The complex covered an area of 50 hectares and offered space for up to 12,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses. It was intended to serve as a supply base for the French Rhine Army and to control the central Rhineland. Only eleven years after construction began, following the Peace of Rijswijk in 1697, the French destroyed the fortress themselves in 1698 to avoid surrendering it to their opponents. Today, only a few remains of the once mighty fortress are visible. These include sections of the walls, casemates, cellar vaults, and defensive ditches. A large part of the ruins is overgrown by forest.

Mining has shaped the village of Altlay and its residents and given the village its name Altlay. In local dialect, a lay is a roofing slate. Anyone who visits the narrow stream valleys around Altlay will not fail to notice striking evidence of mining here and there. Here, at every turn, you come across the remains of what was once a fairly extensive, predominantly small-scale roofing slate mining operation. Slate is still mined in Altlay today.

Officially 'steep path' and that describes it much better. Even if there are elements that are familiar from via ferratas, the overall experience is more of a demanding, partly exposed and quite steep hiking trail in passages with clamps/ladders. Hardly anyone will have equipment here (except perhaps for children) and anyone who has a little experience of via ferrata can walk through here comfortably.

The via ferrata from Zell to the Collisturm is one of the most difficult via ferratas on the Moselle. In addition to safety ropes and step bars, steep ladders and crossings on pins await you.

The Altlayer "Schießkeller" Shortly before the end of World War II, work began on driving a tunnel into the mountain at this point. It was supposed to serve the inhabitants of Altlay as a kind of air raid shelter in the event of possible air raids. Because the war ended quickly, it was no longer completed. In 1958, the Reinhard Weber company rebuilt the tunnel so that explosives could be stored in it. At that time, the Weber company was busy building forest paths, which often required blasting due to the rocky material. As you can see on the inscription on the second door, quite a large amount of explosive material could be stored in the tunnel. Up until the mid-1970s, the Weber company was still storing explosives here. After that the tunnel, also known as the “shooting cellar” in Altlayer parlance, was not used for a long time. It was not until 1985 that the Udo and Hermann Fuchs brothers from Altlay stored material for blasting again in the tunnel. At that time, the Fuchs brothers put the Mosella Il slate quarry back into operation in the Hahn district after a period of rest for 35 years. Unfortunately, the productivity was only low, so that on May 30th, 1990 operations were stopped again. Since then, no more explosive material has been stored in the Altlayer shooting cellar.

Slate mining in Altlay Mining has a long tradition in Altlay. In addition to agriculture, it served as a second pillar for earning a living. In addition to the mining of ores such as lead, copper and zinc, mainly slate was mined mainly for the extraction of roofing slate. In most cases this was done in small working groups of two or three families who leased the mining rights for certain areas from the municipality. The work was very arduous because of the modern equipment; as they are used today, were not available. It was entirely manual work, from driving the tunnels into the mountain to mining the slate blocks. The slate blocks were transported out of the tunnels on a narrow rock railway track with carts to be processed into roofing slate in the Spalthütte. In addition to the family businesses, there was a large amount of slate quarrying in the Hahn community. This was operated by the Rathscheck company from Mayen. This mine was shut down around 1952. There is now slate quarrying again in Altlay. The Theis-Böger company from Bundenbach extracts roofing slate from underground mining in the Giaselrech district. Contrary to the manual work in previous years, almost everything is done with modern machines. Source: Text information board
