Partly bent over, partly in single file, the journey leads through narrow tunnels directly into the past and provides an interesting insight into the hard work of the miners who extracted silver, copper, nickel, lead, cobalt and mercury here at that time.The Celts mined ores in the scenic Schwarzleotal valley over 3,200 years ago. In 1989, the Leogang show mine was opened to the public on the initiative of the municipality and the miners' association. Guided tours through the extensive mine workings of the medieval tunnels transport visitors directly into a long-forgotten world. After 3,200 years of mining history, the Knappenstube invites you to linger and feast.
Guided tours take place from May to October at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. In bad weather, guided tours are even possible from 11:00 to 15:30. Reservations are necessary.
Tickets can be conveniently booked online or by telephone on +43 6583 8223 30 & 43 664 3375852. You can download the English audio guide at home and immerse yourself in the past of the mining industry.
One of the many highlights is the large adventure playground, which offers numerous experiences for the little miners. The old mine train transports the youngest visitors through an artificial tunnel right next to the Knappenstube.
