Arthurstollen, Historical tunnel in Sankt Johann im Pongau, Austria
The Arthurstollen tunnel extends for 5,022 meters through the mountain ridge, connecting Sankt Johann im Pongau with Mühlbach am Hochkönig.
Dating back 3,700 years, the tunnel represents one of the oldest copper mines in the Eastern Alps, with archaeological evidence of Bronze Age mining activities.
The tunnel stands as a protected monument in Austria, representing the industrial heritage and mining traditions of the Salzburg region.
The tunnel system includes preserved wooden platforms and support columns, maintained by copper-infused water that prevented deterioration over centuries.
The modern tunnel, constructed in 1907, directs water from Mühlbach through the mountain for power generation and supplies water to a 1920s industrial castle.
