At the Osterwald mining went from 1585 to 1926. The smelter was started in 1842. Today it is a visitor mine that offers interesting insights into a fascinating underground world. The history of the coal industry, the working conditions of the miners in the 19th century, 145 million years of geology, all come to life during a guided tour through the smelting works. Our museum completes the visit with many details on mining, glassmaking and clay processing as well as on the Osterwalder quarries.Source www.der Hüttenstollen.de

The Hüttenstollen is now a museum and can be visited. The museum is only open from April to October, so you should definitely take a look at the opening times before planning your visit: der-huettenstollen.de/der-huettenstollen-osterwald/oeffnungszeiten-zugangspreise.
