A visit
to the copper show mine will take you back to the almost forgotten world of the
prehistoric miners.
Experience
4000 years of
mining with us! Starting with the prehistoric beginnings with stone
mallets, wooden wedges and fire-setting, to ore mining with mallets and iron
chisels in the Middle Ages, to the use of gun powder in modern times
and eventually dynamite in the 19th century before its closing. It is likely
that the beginning of mining dates back to the Neolithic Age. This makes the
Sunnpau show mine one of the oldest mines in Salzburg.
There is a
lot to discover, not only for children: How was the valuable ore mined almost
4000 years ago? Who were the bones and grave goods found in the mine?
And what did the Romans do in our mine?
The Sunnpau
show mine is part of the Ore of the Alps UNESCO Global Geopark within
the museum association Museumsverein St. Veit and offers insights into the
development of mining from the Bronze Age to modern times.
