The Fell Exhibition Slate Mine, also referred to as the Barbara-Hoffnung Exhibition Mine, is a historical site located in Germany. It is situated approximately 20 kilometers east of Trier and about 60 kilometers east of Luxembourg City, in close proximity to the villages of Fell and Thomm. This former slate mine offers a unique insight into the region's mining history and is easily accessible from major cities.
Open to visitors daily from April to October, the Fell Exhibition Slate Mine comprises two roof slate mines from the early 20th century, a slate mining trail, and a mining museum. These mines, situated one above the other, provide a unique opportunity to explore the mining practices of the past. The slate mining trail and the museum further enhance the visitor's understanding of the history and techniques of slate mining.
Adjacent to the exhibition mine, visitors can find a small documentation centre named "Mine and Wine". This centre exhibits rare tools used in slate mining and wine-making, providing a glimpse into the region's industrial and cultural history. Additionally, a continuous video presentation offers insights into modern slate mining in Europe, specifically at the Rathscheck slate mine near Mayen.
