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

Title: "Near Bettembourg" Photos: Fields and meadows Only "tip" so far: "Commuting to work" What's the highlight here?

It's a nice walk

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.

For a century, the minette was mined in the open air at Haard. While vegetation has reclaimed its rights, the red cliffs bear witness to its past as a mining site. The Haard nature reserve is the largest in the country, and its paths lend themselves to hours of exploration by bike.

Intense red, rugged cliffs rise up next to the cycle path. The color is due to the ore. Really special!

Free tokens are available at the tourist information office or you can insert 50 cents. Many thanks to those responsible for setting up this beautiful station.

Located in the wooded area of the Kayl valley, the town of Rumelange has played an important role in the industrial history of southern Luxembourg.
