in the spa town of Berggießhübel
During the Advent season, the Marie Louise Stolln visitor mine in Saxon Switzerland invites you to join in daily Christmas "Mettenschichten", reminiscent of the old mining tradition of the last shift before Christmas - an unusual yet traditional way to celebrate Christmas!
During an informative guided tour, you will pass through the Marie Louise Stolln visitor mine, which leads into the mountain at ground level. After around 400 meters, you will reach the Mother of God camp, the former ore deposit, with its underground lake. During a rustic mine feast or a cozy cup of coffee by candlelight, you can learn more about the tradition of the Metten shift and listen to contemplative but also funny Christmas stories and anecdotes. Live Christmas music rounds off the underground program.
