Since the 20th anniversary of the Schaubergwerk in 2009, there has been a true-to-original Pochwerk in the immediate vicinity of the Knappenstube, where it is possible to demonstrate how difficult it was for the miners to extract the ore from the quarried rock.
In winter it is not possible to visit the Schaubergwerk, but it is worth a walk or a romantic sleigh ride to the Knappenstube!
