    Well known as a hiking destination, but always had no yield as a gallery: "In the hope of finding silver, copper and lead ores, it was operated briefly from the 17th century onwards, but always without results.

    The oldest written record dates from 1687. The last mining attempt ended in 1864 due to unprofitability with the permanent closure of the mine. "Https://bergbaumuseum-altenberg.de/guepfad/objekte/p16.htm

    Unfortunately closed since 1995.

        I was often here as a child and was allowed to see the tunnel from the inside. Too bad he is too.
