Museum about the history of mining in the Salzburger Land, in the historic miners' settlement Altböckstein near Bad Gastein. Its core is the open-air museum with the Salzstadl and an exhibition on gold mining from 1342 to 1945. The settlement itself dates from 1741 and has its own miners' church.
- there is a separate guided tour through the museum, including the gold ore processing plant
In the middle of the historic settlement with Waschhaus, Säumerstall, Direktionsgebäude, Werkmeisterhaus, Kolm (the storehouse), Coloredohaus and Pfarrhof, the past comes to life again. Its core is the open-air museum with the Salzstadl, an exhibition of mining history pieces on gold mining from 1342 to 1945, and the miners' settlement from 1741 with the Knappenkirche Maria vom Guten Rat.
What visitors say
Only a few visitor reports of this mining museum are to be found. Those who went called it interesting and the admission modest, but one visitor was annoyed by the large number of spelling mistakes in the texts beside the objects. It is mainly something for those interested in the history of gold mining and the old miners' settlement; a large, modern museum is not to be expected.
- · Check in advance whether it is open and whether a guided tour is included, as much of it is only accessible to a limited extent outside the tour
