Great little museum with many exhibits from the black gold mining era.

A toilet right next door, remains of a train just opposite

For several decades, southern Luxembourg and the landscape around Tétange were marked by the mining of iron ore, also known as "minette," thus giving the region its name. The Minette Trail follows the iron ore's journey over several stages, from the extraction sites high in the hills to the railway tracks leading out of the valley. Enjoy this trail through the remarkable landscape of former mines and hills, which offer panoramic views of the Kayl Valley and the impressive red cliffs.

You are in the middle of the pithead of the former "Walert" mine. For almost a century, from the 1880s to 1963, iron ore was mined here, both in the opencast and in galleries. At the time, the mine mainly supplied the factories of Rodange and Seraing in Belgium, where the ore was transported by rail. The site became a museum in 1973 and the use of the pithead facilities was changed: the first offices were converted into a brewery; the locomotive shed now houses the visitor reception; the playground occupies the former wood stock, while the red rocks of the opencast mine are slowly being reclaimed by vegetation. The most spectacular part of the mine is underground (44.5 ha concession). The guided tour begins in the Museum reception building. The train will then take you underground for a walking tour through the galleries, among the tools and machines of three generations of miners.

Stay in the former administrative office of the Rumelange mine

The term “Anciennes tours électriques” is misleading because it is not what we are talking about. The masts are the remains of a conveyor system that was used to transport the ore from the mines to the blast furnaces.

The tour takes you through the tunnels of the "Walert" mine, which was in operation from 1891 to 1963. Discover more than 70m underground large tunnels on two levels and impressive cavities in which your museum guide brings the time of the miners to life again. The machines and tools on display testify to iron ore mining in the region from the 1860s to the closure of the last mine in Lorraine in 1997. https://www.mnm.lu/de/ The museum is open to individual visitors: April-June and September : Thursday - Sunday 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m Guided tour of the mine and mine train at 2:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m July-August: Tuesday – Sunday 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m Guided tour of the mine and mine train at 2:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m October-March : every 2nd Sunday of the month 2:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. (by reservation) Guided tour of the mine and mine train at 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m
