Equipped with a protective helmet, the "Grubenfahrt" (mining tour) takes you 360 meters inside the mountain on foot at the visitor mine "Grube Gustav" in the Bilstein mining district. Originally searching for silver and cobalt, the desired copper slate was discovered in the mountain and has been mined since the 16th century. Hundreds of meters of crawl tunnels, carved by hand with hammer and chisel into the hard rock, are impressive testimonies to the hard work of the miners.
The minimum number of participants is 6 people. Group tours for 15 or more people are available throughout the year with prior registration. You can register by calling 05657 - 7500.
MyCardPlus: Free mine tour.
