Mining began in Cunersdorf in the 16th century. Due to its high yields, the mine quickly gained renown. From 1536, a yield of 2,409 guilders per share was achieved within two and a quarter years. This was primarily due to a very rich silver ore vein with silver contents of up to 40%. However, yields declined again in the following years.[2] During the sinking of a pilot shaft, the year 1551 was discovered at a depth of more than 125 m.[3] The current entrance to the Dorothea adit was created in 1853.[4] Initially, only silver ores were mined; later, nickel, copper, uranium, and cobalt ores were added.[3] After the Second World War, in 1946/47, the SAG Wismut began searching for uranium in Annaberg-Buchholz, including in the Himmlisch Heer Dorothea mine. Uranium mining was short-lived and ended in 1958. Source: Wikipedia

An area that you have to love. But we were well looked after there and there was a lot to see. In the winter we had a lot of snow.
