Silver iron was mainly mined in the Gleissinger Fels. The mine looks back on a 500-year history and is the only accessible silver iron mine in the world. Some of the deeper mining sites can be explored, provided they are not filled with water. During the regular tours on an easily accessible floor of the mine, you can wear a mining helmet and go into hand-mined tunnels that are over 500 years old. Everything sparkles and glitters - the shiny ore on the walls shows the way. Visitors can be inspired by the unique mining atmosphere, the underground waterfall and great stories.

Not far from there is the information house, which is open during the season.

The new visitor center was opened at the mine in 2023. Now it is even more interesting and modern there. More information here: https://www.fichtelgebirge.bayern/detail/id=5f802ff53e91d003a390bb39
