Engi Quarry

The expertly guided tours of the Engi quarry, the old slate mine in the Sernftal valley, offer a unique and special experience.
An experience is the visit and guided tour in the Landesplattenberg Engi, the old slate mine in the Sernftal. A slide show inside the mountain (11 °C) illustrates, among other things, the hard work that used to be done here. You can also experience the exceptional acoustics away from any background noise.

In addition to the guided tours, the concerts and events in the Landesplattenberg are also very popular. Guided tours for registered groups take place almost daily. In summer, guided tours for individuals are also offered on a regular basis. They last 2.5 hours.
