Visitor mine : Former iron ore mine with accessible tunnels, narrow passages and underground lake. Guided tours on the history of mining.
Mining has been carried out in the Berggießhübel region since the Middle Ages. The "Marie Louise Stolln" leads around 400 meters into the mountain to the former iron ore deposit.
The 90-minute tour runs through sections with the original rock structure - some of which are only 65 cm wide and 1.60 m high. The concrete path at the bottom of the tunnel, the electric lighting and the modern escape route in the former winding shaft are concessions to the requirements of a visitor operation.
An underground lake at the end of the route is accessible via a stable staircase. The route is about one kilometer long, there are no seating facilities.
The mine is not barrier-free. Children aged five and over may participate, dogs are not permitted. Registration for the guided tour is required.
