A Trip to the UnderworldThe typical roofing slate (Leyen) in the Moselle villages could not simply be extracted in open-pit mining, but had to be painstakingly mined in damp tunnels and split by hand. This dream loop takes us over wonderful paths to such tunnels and to the visitor mine. A tour through the impressive underground halls is not to be missed. It is also an exciting experience for children. Today, there are no active slate mines on the Moselle anymore, and the roofing slate is largely imported. The surname Leyendecker (slate roofer), common on the Moselle, and the many historic slate buildings and roofs recall this long, proud mining tradition.
