Fond-de-Gras is a former transhipment point where iron ore was transferred from the mines to freight traffic. Today there is an open-air museum here, in which visitors are brought closer to the history of ore mining. Various guided tours and a trip on the “Minièresbunn” mine train or the “Train 1900” steam train are possible here.

A highlight for railway lovers! But also a cool experience for the whole family. The tickets are day tickets and you can travel on the trains all day 🚂.
