In the visitors´ mine Herrenberg fair conditions for finding your fossils are offered by the Bundenbach authorities.

For little money newly cut blocks of slate can be bought and split in a `splitting-hut´. Special tools and helpful advice how to do the job are provided free.

The freshly mined slate opens up very well. All you need now is a good quantity of good luck!

It is a thrilling occupation even for children who work with a lot of fun and enthusiasm.
