    Tips

    “The B tunnel in the Katharinental is one of the experimental mines for copper ore that were excavated at the beginning of the 20th century. They should develop new ore deposits to ensure the continued existence of mining. Ultimately, none of this work had any lasting success.
    The relatively large cross-section of the route and the irregular shape of the tunnel are typical of tunnel construction from this period, which indicates rapid advancement by means of blasting. - In comparison, the overlying, much older lug is cleanly worked in a typical trapezoidal profile. This shape of the tunnel is characteristic of the mine workings of the 18th century.”

      Most of the tunnels are all closed, as (sometimes endangered) animals have made their home there. You should be considerate and not disturb.

        Definitely worth seeing. A detour is worthwhile!

            Mining historically very interesting. The environment is just bursting with it.
