Hiking

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is definitely worth a visit, but you should book well in advance... Then you'll also get the tour you want. It's about 18°C (64°F) inside the mine, so a sweater isn't absolutely necessary. The tour lasts about 2-3 hours, with short breaks deep inside the mountain (135 meters below ground). The route underground is about 3 km (1.9 miles), and you'll have to climb a lot of stairs. The ore season is absolutely perfect, and I really appreciate that.

The mine is worth a half day trip. A guided tour of the tourist route is highly recommended. It takes about 3.5 hours. Tickets should be bought online in advance.
