    Forbidden for health reasons? Is it the dust or the loose hills?
    Well, at least you can walk around it ...

      The Silberkaule mine was opened by a tunnel, the three shafts of Mals, Baur and Carl Paula, which had a total depth of 206 meters, and five civil engineering foundations with a total of 3700 meters of track and a mining height of 180 meters. The length of the aisle, which was worthy of construction, was a maximum of 340 meters and decreased to the deepest level over a length of 40 meters.
      The ore processing plant was located on the Heckbach in the valley floor. Today you can only see the old washing piles here.

        Nice place to put yourself back in time, you can really imagine ... how the mines used to work here!
        Sturdy shoes, waterproof shoes when it rains, as it can get VERY muddy!
