Schlade, Geological valley in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany
The Schlade valley contains Devonian reef limestone formations and fossil structures within a karst environment that lacks surface water streams.
Mining operations and lime kilns characterized this area until the mid-20th century, including the Prinz Wilhelm mine which produced iron ore.
The site has earned designation as a German cultural heritage monument, preserving evidence of industrial activities in the Bergisch Gladbach region.
A seven-kilometer geological path crosses the site with information panels explaining the geology, nature, and industrial history of the area.
The limestone deposits of Schlade contain tropical marine fossils from 380 million years ago, when the region was located near the equator.
