A trip to the idyllic Schwarzleo Valley in Saalfelden Leogang is like a journey through time – deep into the lives and work of the miners of the past. At the Leogang Show Mine, thousands of years of mining history come to life for visitors of all ages. Here, where the Celts were already extracting valuable ores like silver, copper, cobalt, and mercury over 3,200 years ago, visitors can now enjoy a fascinating underground adventure – and much more above ground, too.
Whether in sunshine or rain, the Leogang Show Mine offers exciting guided tours through faithfully preserved tunnels. Sometimes ducking, sometimes walking in single file, equipped with helmets and headlamps, visitors venture through the underground maze – a memorable experience that lets everyday life fade away for a while.
A Family-Friendly World of Discovery with Fun, Play & Culinary Delights
It's not just the underground tour that excites: Right by the Unterberghaus – the starting point for all tours – a large adventure playground with an old mining train and a specially created children's tunnel invites kids to play and explore. A dedicated children's program ensures fun-filled hours for young explorers. Every Thursday in July and August, a special children’s tour takes place at the Leogang Show Mine: Leo’s Mining Adventure. With a certificate, a miner's meal, and small treasures from the tunnels, the visit becomes an unforgettable adventure.
If you're looking to refuel afterwards, the Unterberghaus – the former miners’ house – offers regional culinary treats and a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing break surrounded by nature.
