概要

クイックファクト: Step into cool, dim tunnels and you’ll feel the crush of history as guides light authentic lanterns and point out original wooden supports and miners’ tools. A steep descent brings a hands-on saddle demonstration and unexpected stories about how medieval silver shaped regional trade and coinage.

見どころ: Guides lead you 40 meters below ground into narrow timbered galleries, where you can run your hand along 700-year-old wooden supports and taste the mineral tang of iron and damp earth as a flickering miner's lamp casts amber shadows. A quirky tradition keeps the past alive: groups pause to listen to a short medieval miners' chant and to view a tiny carved notch where 14th-century officials measured silver veins, and guides often show coins like Prague groschen from the 1300s wedged into rock crevices.

インサイダーヒント

Wear sturdy closed shoes and a warm layer, low ceilings and damp stone floors make the mine cooler and uneven underfoot.
Book the guided mine tour online or at the ticket office in advance during high season, tours sell out early on sunny weekends.
Join a morning tour to avoid large coach groups that arrive mid- to late-morning, and head to the museum exhibits after the mine visit for quieter galleries.
Photography is usually allowed in the museum; follow the guide's rules underground and avoid flash or tripods inside the mine.
