History


Description

The Erzberg (Ore Mountain) is what the name says: a mountain consisting of ore. The village Eisenerz is located at the end of an valley, where the Erzberg is located. The whole mountains is removed in a huge open cast mine. Today the original mountain top is already missing, and the remains of the mountain look like a big pyramid with huge steps. This steps are plateaus which are mined subsequently.

An old legend tells the story how the ore was discovered.
