1 mile away from Stolzenburg are the remnants of the former copper mine. Since more than 500 years, the copper-ore veins of “Klangbaach” attracted several investors to Stolzembourg, although it was far away from any industrial area these days. In 1856, 1882, 1901 and 1938 the digging was significant. The biggest problem was the water that regularly flooded the galleries. In recent years, a part of the underground galleries were made accessible for the interested public. 50 meters below ground, visitors learn about the complicated digging of the copper ores from the past.
