Pit Bausberg I and II in Kehrig.Until a few decades ago, slate mining dominated large parts of our region as far as the Moselle. The population of the local church Kehrig lived to a large extent from the work in the resident slate mines Bausberg I and Bausberg II.Even today, the many shining slate roofs, especially in the villages of the eastern Eifel, and the Mayen-based, national school for roofing craftsmanship prove this tradition.
The historic quarry "Ahl" lies south of the municipality of St. Johann in the Vordereifel. The imposing rock face rises steeply north of the Nettetal and is visible from afar due to its yellowish colour.
With 747 m it is the highest elevation of the Eifel ! The " Hohe Acht " is a tertiary volcano and last but not least because of the 16,30 m high " Kaiser-Wilhelm-Turmes " on its top since 1909 visible from afar.
