The mine, which is a secondary facility of the "Holy Trinity" mine, is one of the smaller visitor mines with approx. 250m of secured tour routes. However, it is precisely the fact that it is an unadulterated representation of medieval silver mining and has remained free from the influences of uranium ore mining by SDAG "Wismut" that makes it so interesting.
During the 45-minute guided tours, you will learn a lot of interesting facts about mining, geology, mineralogy and the traditions of the Erzgebirge. It is also possible to use the above-ground facilities of the association for celebrations or meetings. Among other things, the Huthaus with space for up to 25 people and the barbecue area are available.
You can get an overview of the extensive facilities of the former old mine on the educational mining trail or on the smaller "Wurzelweg und Altbergbau" trail. Have fun and good luck!
