This is the former Lehesten roofing slate opencast mine. Its dimensions alone are impressive; along with the nearby Oertelsbruch, it was one of the largest slate quarries on the continent (approximately 800 m long, 300 m wide, and up to 80 m deep). Source: Wikipedia

A beautiful region 🤩 If you like, you can also take a detour to the Alvater Tower.

In the "Land of Blue Gold," as the slate is called here because of its distinctive color, the tradition of Thuringian-Franconian slate mining can still be experienced today. This extraordinary industrial complex, located at what was once one of Europe's largest open-cast slate mines, provides a hands-on experience of the history and processing of slate. The entire Staatsbruch Slate Park area is a nature reserve. 170 Red List species have now been confirmed to have settled in this partially inaccessible area.

Don't expect Stonehenge! They're just mini-apostles.

Be sure to visit and take enough time with you.

The tower is a viewing pavilion above the town of Steinbach near Geroldsgrün. The Langesbühl can be reached via various hiking trails, including the FrankenwaldSteigla 12-Apostel-Weg.
