A fascinating journey through time
Set out on a fascinating journey through time, millions of years back into the past. The unequalled mix of natural and man-made beauty that evolved from the symbiosis of a history of 200 million years and modern technology fascinates people more than ever before.
Awe-inspiring
The caves were discovered in 1870 when miners were looking for lead and zinc. The underground tunnels created by nature made entry into the mountain easier and faster. Today, an underground world opens up to the visitors where carefully orchestrated illumination lights up absolute darkness. Visitors look in awe at a miracle that once only miners saw. On the way through the caves, the miners’ world is close enough to touch and experience.
