It was a very good experience and we learned a lot. We took two tours: one of the caves and going down in the mine from the 20th century and a tour of the mines from the 19th century.Full review by DayTrip32483055161

We took the "railway" tour, and there was very little walking involved. No hiking at all. (We were there with very young kids.) You board a train like the one the miners were using (have to bend a bit to get in the wagon), 5 min ride, then walk a little inside the mine to see the machinery they used back when the mine was in function. The ground can be damp/wet, so better wear shoes (not sandals). Tour lasted 1 hr, very instructive, unfortunately in German only.
I do not intend going down the mine itself and I ask whether the mine museum is far from the mine so I can browse there whilst others go down the mine. Is this possible ?
A:
Yes, the mine and the museum are in exactly the same place - well, maybe twenty feet apart!
