Thelenberg
Mendig, Mayen-Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
A series of pumice quarries just northwest of the small town of Mendig.
Some interesting mineralogy here – Mindat lists 108 mineral species from the site, many of which are uncommon or rare.
Not far at all from many of the more well known Eifel quarries; this site appears to now be operated under the name Grube Gebr. Zieglowski GmbH & Co. KG.
Whether any access to the site is permitted I’m afraid I don’t know – I am surprised to see so many named species and so few photos on Mindat, though, so I would assume there is no access to the site for collectors.
