Do you want to enrich your stay in Austria? Be sure to visit the Montanmuseum Bosckstein, a mining museum that is a living demonstration of how gold was once mined in history. In the past, up to 10% of the world's production was mined here, but now gold mining is no longer allowed, although it is said that there is still plenty of gold to be found. In the museum you will not only get a perfect atmosphere of history, but you will also see the technology that was used from the individual devices to the elevator machines. Experience an amazing journey back through the history of mining in the Gastein Valley, where you will discover a story of wealth and hard work. In the middle of the historic settlement you will find buildings such as the administration building, the washhouse and more. Exhibits tell the story of gold mining from 1342 until 1945.
