The extensive plateau of the High Fens, which covers an area of 5,000 hectares, is unique in Europe.

From the 18th century to the early 20th century, the village of Recht was a centre of bluestone mining. Today, the 8-km bluestone hiking trail is reminiscent of the one-time significance of this blue-grey shale. Although the route is shorter in the visitors’ mine itself, a very special experience awaits you. Make your way underground while wearing helmets. The 800-m round trip through galleries and mining halls conveys an image of the hard and dangerous life of the miners in their day-to-day work.

A great experience also for children and in bad weather!

The mine is 20 km (25 minutes drive) from the hotel.
