EN: The mining museum is located in the former iron ore mine on the western edge of the village of Herznach.
The mine was operated from 1937 to 1967. A total of about 1.7 million tons of ore were extracted during the thirty years.
In 2004, an association was founded with the aim of making the regional history of mining better known. Today there is a museum in the gallery, which is open from April to October on the first Sunday of each month. Then the gallery railroad is also in operation. In the former silo about 200 meters from the entrance to the gallery there is now a bed and breakfast.
