Besucherbergwerk "Grube Bendisberg" in Langenfeld

*** All tours by appointment only ***

The “Grube Bendisberg” visitor mine, with its three tunnels, offers fantastic glimpses into the Earth’s interior.
The narrow tunnels and passages, explosives and winch chambers, rollers, shafts, and ore veins, as well as the mineral-based colorations in the Grube Bendisberg ore mine, are open to everyone—and we can assure you it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone, young and old alike!

• Do you prefer a more leisurely pace? Then join the standard tour, which takes place only in the central tunnel. But “standard” here doesn’t mean “boring”! For kids, there’s the “Dwarf Hunt,” and who can say they’ve ever ridden in a mine car through a mine before?
• Are you true adventurers? Then we recommend the Three-Tunnel Tour, where you’ll climb several meters into the mountain via a 53-meter-high spiral staircase with 270 steps leading to the lower tunnel, or ascend from the middle tunnel to the upper tunnel along a winding path. Or how about an “Arschleder” tour? Don’t know what that is? Then get ready for a surprise.

On all tours, you’ll start by examining a handcrafted, meticulously detailed model that explains exactly where you’ll be in the mine. Before heading down into the mine, you’ll be equipped with a helmet and a headlamp and learn how and when mining began there. The Celts were involved—and perhaps the Romans, too? You’ll learn more about this from the mine guides at the Bendisberg Mine.

Children under 13 are only permitted to tour the Mittlerer Eisenheld Tunnel.

Current prices are listed on the visitor mine’s website.

The “Bergmannshütte” restaurant is located right next to the visitor mine. Please note the opening hours!
Breakfast is served on select Sundays and holidays. Breakfast is available by advance reservation only; please call 0151 70857031! On these days, a standard guided tour of the middle tunnel at the visitor mine takes place at 11 a.m. without prior reservation.
