What to expect
The Rammelsberg is a mountain with a long history of mining, located on the northern edge of the Harz range, south of the historic town of Goslar in Lower Saxony, Germany. The mountain is the location of an important silver, copper, and lead mine, which was continuously working for over 1,000 years until its closure in 1988. Visitors can explore the visitor mine and learn about the history of mining and the advancement of technology over many centuries. The Rammelsberg is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Mines of Rammelsberg, Historic Town of Goslar and Upper Harz Water Management System', which recognizes its cultural and historical significance.

Harz: Rammelsberg visitor mine for families
Activities: We visited the Rammelsberg mine in February 2022, including my two older sons and my little daughter. We followed a guide in the mine for about an hour. We saw the Röder-Stollen, the old tunnels, helmets, and colorful crystals. We also saw an industrial complex with an old waterwheel, and a grid with a ten-meter void below it. The visit was very interesting
Highlights: The experience was very exciting and intense. The guide explained how the mine worked in the 18th century. We enjoyed the short tour of the Röder-Stollen. My son, who had previously been to a coal mine, really wanted to see it. It was a great experience! ✨
