No extended expert’s tours because of construction work

No extended expert’s tours because of construction work

Due to underground construction work, we will unfortunately not be able to offer any extended expert’s tours until mid-October. However, regular guided tours take place as usual without restrictions!

In parts of the extended expert’s route, the woodwork is being renovated. After that, we look forward to discover the secrets of mining with you within an approx. three-hour special tour – every Wednesday from 1:30 p.m. on.
