Description

The Schladminger Tauern are not only one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the Alpine region, but also surprise visitors underground with enormous treasures that have been of great economic importance to the former mining town of Schladming for centuries.

Copper, silver, lead, zinc, cobalt and nickel were mined in the Bromriesen, Roßblei, Duisitzkar, Eschachalm, Neualm, Krombach and Krahbergzinken.

Especially the extraction of silver ores made Schladming one of the most important mining locations in Austria in the period from the late 13th to the 15th century.

Today we can follow in the footsteps of the miners in the Bromriesen tunnel.
