... Nice views of one of the oldest and most important tin ore mining regions in Germany... the town has been historically significant due to its tin mining activities, which date back to the Middle Ages... today, it is a quaint town that offers a glimpse into its mining past through various museums and historical sites... the Ehrenfriedersdorf tin mine has been a visitor mine with an attached mineralogical museum since 1995 and lets you descend into the region’s tin mining past... with guided tours through the underground tunnels, you’ll learn about mining life, techniques, and local geology... a unique world in the heart of the Sauberg mountain, crisscrossed by over 300 km of tunnels and galleries... it is also surrounded by scenic landscapes, making it a charming destination for visitors interested in history and nature... Thanks Anni!ツ
These Saxon-Bohemian Ore Mountains were mined over centuries for the metals silver, tin, zinc, cobalt, nickel, copper and lead; but anthracite and uranium were also extracted into the 20th century.
They have produced technological and scientific innovations, such as the introduction of early modern monetary systems and the founding of the first mining high school. Its miners spread their knowledge across the world by means of emigration.
The Ehrenfriedersdorf mining landscape (component 03) is a central part of the Ore Mountains/Krušnohoří mining region, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.
