Historical Mining Technology Tour
Special guided tour focusing on historical mining (15th/16th century) and the replica of the Ehrenfriedersdorf water-wheel pump.
The tour focuses on the historic mining areas. In addition to visiting a 15th-century silver mine, the itinerary includes a tour of the *Tiefer Sauberger Stollen* (Deep Sauberg Adit)—dating back to the 16th century—covering a distance of approximately 500 meters along its original tunnel profile. Visitors can experience firsthand the arduous work performed by miners in centuries past using hammer and gad. A visit to a historic water-wheel chamber and sections of an original, well-preserved medieval pump system marks a highlight of the tour.
