Zechenhaus with mining museum, changing room, helmet room, and restaurant
Highlight • Historical Site
Visitors are led through the canteen and receive their helmet in the helmet room.
The basket shaft leads down to the 150-meter level. Once you reach the bottom, you take the mine train 160 meters into the tunnel and get an impression of the inhumane life of the miners through the demonstration of the mining machines and tools.
