The visitor mine "Middle Name of God" south of Brandholz can be visited with a shaft house and a replica roasting oven on the Goldberg. The tour takes place with mining equipment. The historical mine was only reopened in June 1993 and made accessible to visitors. With mining guidance, it is currently passable up to 125 meters, the length of the tunnel totals about 400 meters. The mining areas inside the mountain connect two further tunnels at a distance of 30 meters. The last period of operation dates from around 1750, the first dismantling is estimated around 1500.
The starting point is the Goldberg information center in the Brandholz district.

The visitor mine leads up to 200 meters deep into the Goldberg. The tours last around 1.5 hours and are really worthwhile. Adults €5, family price €12.

Open from May to mid-October, the tunnel is closed at other times of the year to protect bats.

Tickets can be bought at the information center, which is also where the tour begins.
