The Wenzel mine is a very interesting visitor center, which gives interesting impressions of historical mining in the Black Forest. It was one of the silver-richest mines in the Black Forest. Silver has been mined in the mine since the beginning of the 14th century. The heyday of the silver mine was in the second half of the 18th century. In 1823 mining came to a complete standstill.

The pit was prepared for visitors between 1997 and 2001 by volunteers. In 2001 the work was finished and it was opened to visitors as a visitor mine. The generally accessible area of the pit can be "driven on" over a distance of about 1000 meters. Duration about 1.5 hours. All visitors are equipped with boots, jackets, helmets and head torches.

Experience applies to the short tour (1.5 hours) in the pit, although it is only 11°C, you can also enter it with shorts.
As for footwear, hiking boots are also sufficient, which you can clean at a fountain at the end 👍
