Accessibility


"Of tightrope artists and free riders"

The Samson pit presents the historic Upper Harz ore mining industry and its hydroelectric power supply. Originally preserved mining technology such as water wheels or the art of driving still impress today. Almost all areas of the mine can even be visited by people with reduced mobility. In addition to the shaft building and the water wheel houses, an 88 meter long tunnel is also accessible to visitors. The tour ends in the mine museum.

We offer guided tours in English for groups by prior arrangement. Individual guests can take part in the public tours in German and use our free media guide, which offers the mine tour in EN, NL and DK. All information about the media guide can be found here

Longer underground journeys are possible in the Catharina Neufang mine, the sister mine of the Samson mine (actually closed due to maintenance). Here, in the narrow and winding mining areas, guests get a deeper insight into mining from the 16th century. If you want to be even more adventurous, you can go even deeper into the mountain with the colleagues from the Roter Bär mine... up to the real limit experience.
