Mother´ s Day in the Limestone Mine in Wolfstein

All mothers will be greeted with a glass of sparkling wine. Mining has been carried out in Wolfstein for centuries. Besides ore and coal, lime was also mined. Since the 1980s the disused mine with all its equipment and structure has been a museum. It takes the visitors to the past times of the miners. Interested people can experience the work of the last miner and owner of the mine Otto Cappel. The entertaining guided tour shows what work and effort it meant for the miners to earn their living with mining. There is a special feature in the lime mine: the limestone layer runs slightly upwards and relatively flat into the mountainside. Due to this circumstance, it is possible to reach the interior of the mountain comfortably by mine train. Guided tours offered from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. are suitable for all ages. Last entry is at 5 p.m. Sturdy shoes and warm clothing are recommended. Entrance fee is € 7 for adults, € 6 for youths and € 18.50 for families (2 adults and own children). Families, groups and school classes can arrange individual appointments for an English guided tour.
