Glasebach mine
Experience the fascination of a mine up close
An exciting hidden world awaits you in the Selketal: the Harz is a former mining region and mining museums such as the Glasebach mine in the Harzgerode district of Straßberg tell the 300-year history in an impressive way.
Embark on a guided mine tour through the magical labyrinth of tunnels and passages, whose rock shimmers in colors ranging from green and purple to reddish brown and a bright sky blue.
Learn more about the fascinating play of colors and the mining techniques that have been used over the centuries during the underground tour. The museum exhibition above ground vividly complements everything you need to know about the history of the Glasebach mine and its minerals.
The outdoor museum has another highlight in store: here you can see original mining machines and equipment from the 20th century that bring the everyday working life of the Harz miners to life.
