Description

This is an abandoned slate mine, one of several in the valley of the Semois river. In the affiliated slate museum displays and a videotape tell about the mining of slate. Today the extraction and exploitation of slate has virtually disappeared. This site is run by a group of vollunteers from the village Alle.
