Bergwerk Platzertal, Historical mine in Pfunds, Austria.
The Platzertal mine extends across the municipalities of Pfunds and Tösens, situated at an elevation of 3,000 meters in the Tyrolean Oberland.
Mining operations at Platzertal began in 1539 with the establishment of a mining union, extracting substantial deposits of lead, zinc, and copper ores.
The silver processing from the mine took place at the mint in Hall near Innsbruck, contributing to the regional metallurgical development.
Access to the mine buildings requires a six-hour hike from Pfundser Tschey, with visiting seasons limited to the period between June and October.
The mine structures remained buried under glacial ice for 250 years, from 1610 to 1858, preserving the medieval mining infrastructure.
