Dorothea-Stolln, Mining heritage site in Annaberg-Buchholz, Germany.
The Dorothea-Stolln is a mine in Annaberg-Buchholz with underground tunnels, solid stone walls, and water systems that date back to the silver mining era. The site shows the practical solutions that miners developed over centuries to work deep underground.
The mine was established in 1530 and became an important source of silver from a famous vein called Himmlisch Heer. These origins laid the foundation for the region's economic growth over the following centuries.
The site reflects the deep connection between this region and mining, which shaped people's lives for generations. Visitors can see today how mining defined the identity and structure of this area.
Visitors can choose between a short boat tour of about 2 kilometers or a longer tour of about 7 kilometers. Your choice depends on how much time you have and your comfort with walking in tight underground spaces.
The mine still contains original equipment and structures that show how miners performed their daily work many centuries ago. Some parts of the site remain unchanged from that distant time, making them direct windows into the past.
