The site is definitely worth a visit. The guided tours underground last approximately 90 to 120 minutes and offer insights into 300 years of copper, silver, and iron ore mining. https://www.besucherbergwerk-kamsdorf.de/

An information panel details the historical mining activities. The Neuhoffnungsstollen (New Hope Tunnel) is also located nearby.

A beautifully restored castle complex, towering high above the town. Unfortunately, it's not accessible.

A real eye-catcher on the edge of the Kamsdorf forest: The entrance to the game farm is guarded by a giant bison statue – you can hardly miss it! The facility itself is idyllically situated between forest and meadow, offering a special blend of nature and rustic flair.
