In the slate tunnel - a small lake

The Rhine and its tributaries have cut deep valleys into the high plateau of the Hunsrück in the Bacharach area, on the slopes of which slate occurs, which was used in construction and especially for roofing. You are standing here in front of an old slate tunnel.

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.

Located directly on the street.

Small cave by the wayside

On the slope of the Mönchholzkopf (306m) above the Mönchsrinne, a small branch path leads to an old slate mine. As is usually the case, the tunnel itself is barred in favor of the bats that live here. In the large quarry you can still see the remains of the building and some tools. At the top of the slate dump there is an (unfortunately) ailing rest bench with a table.

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
