Geology


Description

To be honest, this mine is not yet open. The mining in this area has a very long history, and so the town council and some locals believe it is a good idea to develop a part of the old mines for tourists. Numerous old tunnels were explored and a huge mine rediscovered, which is developed as a show mine at the moment. It will open in a few years.

For those who do not want to wait: a part of the mine called Theresiengrube is open after appointment.
