The small visitor mine with its museum is worth a visit. You can learn a lot about mining and the town of Asbach.

Very interesting visitor mine ... former iron-manganese production ... from October a local bakery stores a part of your tunnels for maturing in the tunnel (Finstertaler mine tunnel) ...

Open from May 1st to October 31st from Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guided tours take place every hour. There is also an interesting exhibition in the ticket office, as well as a lot of interesting information about the place on the newly designed outer facade. The associated parking lot is only 100m away, directly on the main road
