Dear guests, due to the Corona crisis, we are not allowed to open as planned on March 28th, 2020. Therefore, we have closed until further notice. We are currently assuming that we might be able to resume our operations again on May 1st, 2020. You are welcome to secure your mining experience here now. Of course, we accept card payments on site – but you can ideally secure your booking by booking online. You can also follow us on Facebook and on Instagram for the latest information.
We wish you all and wish ourselves that we all get through this crisis well. Your well-being and your health are important to us. Please take care of yourself, be considerate to one another and support each other. We are certain that we will master this major crisis with prudence and by standing together.
At this point, we would also like to say THANK YOU to all our employees who continue to work tirelessly for the pit.
Your Fortuna-Team
⚒ Glück Auf! ⚒
PS: We as a charitable, non-profitable organization gemeinnütziger, nicht gewinnorientierter Verein are the carrier (representatives and sponsors) of the Fortuna visitors´mine, a genuine mine open to visitors. Compared to other museum facilities, we have very high operating costs (5 employees are needed to attend to 1 visitor and our cable car – the conveyer basket – regularly requires a lot of technological support and testing from the mining supervision authority). Our facility is financially supported by the public sector with only a fixed amount which hardly contributes to the total expenditure. We are very dependant on the proceeds from our tickets´sales, from our museum shop and of course from donations in ordert o achieve a black zero. For this task, we are also dependant on a lot of volunteering – for which we are very grateful. Therefore, it is our goal and our hope to be able to preserve the mine as a living monument that contributes to the memory of our industrial culture and to the mining history in our region despite all the hardships & the loss in sales (due tot he present situation). We are very much looking forward to welcoming you at the Geopark Fortuna during your future visit.
All tours through our mine take place in small groups. The rooms and corridors underground are always well ventilated with fresh air. The museum is generously dimensioned and allows you (if you wish) to prevent coming into close contact with other people. We are looking forward to welcoming you on your next visit!
