- All guests must follow the currently applicable distance and hygiene rules.
Dogs are welcome...
...but they have to be able to behave in the eyes of the other guests.
Our four-legged friends have to overcome a challenge:
There are also wire mesh steps down in the mine, which some dogs don't want to or can't walk on. The animals then either have to be carried (small dogs) or go back (larger dogs). Everyone’s safety always comes first here.
Dogs in training (guide dogs or rescue dogs) are just as welcome as dog schools.
Please register your dog with us by calling +49 (0)5582 1249. Thank you.
