Schaubergwerk "Volle Rose", Show mine in Schortetal valley, Ilmenau, Germany
The Volle Rose mine features a 360-meter underground railway system that transports visitors through tunnels while demonstrating historical mining operations.
The mine began operations in the 12th century for copper and silver extraction, with documentation dating back to 1601, and later transitioned to fluorite mining.
The guided tours, conducted by experienced miners, demonstrate traditional mining techniques and display original equipment used throughout different mining periods.
The mine welcomes visitors from May through October, Wednesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00, with mandatory advance registration for guided tours.
Visitors travel through the mine tunnels aboard a specialized train while learning about fluorite extraction methods and examining preserved mining infrastructure.
