Öblarner Kupferweg — Mine Tour & Mining Museum

78

In Öblarn you descend into the world of the miners: the Öblarner Kupferweg takes you into the historic Thaddäusstollen, to centuries-old sulphur and smelting furnaces and into the mining museum. Underground the climate is always the same — so rain is no obstacle here, but rather the perfect excuse.
