restaurant and show mine closed.

Description

The mine at the Krähstel or Chrästel was used to mine quartz sand for the nearby glassworks at Bühlach. The show mine was maintained by the family Wetzel, which also owns nearby restaurant Bergwerk. The owners closed the restaurant in 2022 because they retired, currently there is no successor. In other words the mine and restaurant are closed indefinitely. Their website does not contain any other information.
