museum of mining Prettau
With the railway into the mine
The heyday of the Prettau mine was 600 years ago, when the extraordinary malleability of Prettau copper was in great demand. The galleries, once driven inch by inch into the rock using only hand tools, are masterpieces of mining skill. Even in the 20th century, Prettau was the third largest copper supplier in Italy. Today a railway leads into the heart of the mine, while in the climate galleries, where the air is so pure, people can once more breathe freely.

The riches of the earth
The ore deposits of Tyrol made the land and its princes rich. The “tradesmen” – the name given to the mining entrepreneurs – came mostly from the nobility and the upper middle classes and became the largest employers and investors in ore districts such as the Ahrntal Valley. The permanent exhibition in the Steinhaus grain store relates the example of the Count von Enzenberg, one of the most important tradesmen in the history of mining in the Ahrntal Valley.
