The City of Silver Schwaz – Silver Mine, Planetarium
For an extra special day out, we highly recommend the unique silver mine in Schwaz. The mine is more than 500 years old and silver, as well as copper, was mined there with great effort and the help of more than 11.000 workers. Due to this mine, the city of Schwaz grew to be the second largest city in Austria during the 15th and 16th century. In addition, Tyrol was considered to be one of the richest countries in all of Europe.
Experience the shafts of the silver mine in Schwaz first hand and learn more about this interesting historical sight.
