Hiking

There is a walk with audio device in your language of 1 km. The first part of the walk is mainly about the biotope, which is such a terril (waste mountain). At the very last you go up the slag heap. And when you are at the top, the audio guidance stops. But after the underground this is a pleasant walk.

Hiking

The visit to the mine takes 110 minutes, the museum an hour, the walk around and on the slag heap also an hour (with audio device).
There is also a train that makes a tour in the region. Unless you have children I would advise against this. Has nothing to do with the mine and is more of a waste of time.
You have good catering facilities available (picnic is not necessary). And the staff is actually bilingual.
