PRIMEVAL SULZBACH VALLEYS & HOCHFELD SHOW MINE

31st December 2026 to 1st April 2027 - Neukirchen am Großvenediger

Starting at the entrance to Untersulzbachtal Valley, you'll hike to the historic miners' hut, where there is time to enjoy the snack you have brought with you and a cup of warm tea. Then it's time to leave the winter landscape behind and step into the world of mining. Equipped with protective clothing and a helmet, you'll enter the Hieronymus-Erbstollen tunnel at the Hochfeld Show Mine. A National Park Ranger will tell you about the lives of the miners who once worked here and the history of mining in the Sulzbach valleys.
