Copper was mined in Prettau for over 500 years. Today, you'll ride the mine train over a kilometre into the mountain—and arrive in a world completely different from the sunlit one outside – a cool, mysterious, and quiet place. You'll learn how hard and dangerous the miners' work was, how they mined the ore, and the significance of copper mining for the valley. Exciting for children, fascinating for adults. And it's a bit of an adventure anyway.
