GERMAN SLATE MINE

An exciting journey back in time awaits visitors to the unique German Slate Mine in Mayen: Where the Devonian sea stretched 400 million years ago, today the winding passages of the slate mine wind 16 metres below Genoveva Castle. This special exhibition provides vivid information about the work and everyday life of the slate miners. Touching is absolutely permitted in the 340-metre-long labyrinth of tunnels, because the slate mine offers adventure for all the senses. The attraction for children and adults alike is a simulated lorry ride through the gallery.

Plan unfortgetable moments

We would be happy to help you plan your excursions in advance. The Seehotel Maria Laach is a good starting point for your tours. Only two kilometers from the A61, but in the middle of the largest nature reserve in Rhineland-Palatinate, we can be reached quickly via the major motorways A1 and A3.

Nature conservation and sustainability are important to us: Therefore, please note that you are in the largest nature reserve in Rhineland-Palatinate. Accordingly, dogs must be kept on a leash. Open fires on paths and by the lake are not permitted. Swimming in the lake can only take place in the designated areas. Please dispose of waste in the containers provided. Please use the on-site signposted parking spaces on all your tours. Please only use the designated paths and only leave them at the points indicated.

Thank you for your understanding.
