It’s winter vacation time in Germany! The mines in Zinnwald and Altenberg have come up with something very special for this.
From January 30th to February 26th, Zinnwald also opens its doors on Tuesdays – regular tours at 10:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.!
In Zinnwald on 10.02. and 24.02. Children’s tour takes place at 10:00 a.m.
STONE CRAFTING – with pewter figures and minerals – Thursdays from 10:00 a.m.!
Not to forget the expert tours: on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. and on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. we will take you into the secret hiding places of the mine, which nobody else will discover! Duration: 2.5-3 hours – be careful, it gets low (ca. 1.20 m ceiling height)!
Regular tours only take place on Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., as the Mettenschichten (miner’s christmas) follow after that. This applies to all Saturdays in 2022, including December 31st. The visitor’s mine is only closed on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
From the new year we will welcome you again on Saturdays during the regular opening hours!
New 2023: The popular expert tours not only take place on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m., but also on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. as an extra!
In the two and a half to three hour tour, you will explore untouched old mine adits and experience how a miner felt more than 100 years ago. Ceiling height partly only 1.20 m!
We look forward to welcoming you to our rustic Miner’s Christmas this year! Experience the Zinnwald mine, enjoy a hearty miner’s feast with mulled wine and take a souvenir home with you!
