Museum Technisches Denkmal Lehesten
Museum Technisches Denkmal Lehesten, Mining and technology museum in Lehesten, Germany
The Schieferpark Lehesten exhibits functional buildings and machinery demonstrating the methods of slate extraction in an open-cast mining environment.
The technical monument opened in 1993 after extensive renovations of historical structures from a slate operation that ceased production in 1964.
The museum preserves the industrial heritage through displays of traditional slate mining techniques, processing methods, and roofing craftsmanship demonstrations.
The facility offers guided tours from April to October, with weekday sessions at 10:00 and 13:00, while weekend visits require advance reservations.
The site features a 42-meter-deep slate lake formed from former mining operations, surrounded by two geological paths spanning 4 kilometers.
