Zechenhaus with mining museum, changing room, helmet room, and restaurant
Highlight • Historical Site
Visitors are led through the canteen and receive their helmet in the helmet room.
The basket shaft leads down to the 150-meter level. Once you reach the bottom, you take the mine train 160 meters into the tunnel and get an impression of the inhumane life of the miners through the demonstration of the mining machines and tools.

Portal of the Fortuna Mine (Geoworld Fortuna e.V.)
Highlight • Historical Site
The tracks from the tunnel mouth led to a building complex for ore processing, of which only the tipping hall remains. The ore from the lorries was emptied with compressed air. The ore was broken into different grain sizes and taken to the Lahntalbahn in Albshausen by cable car.
The Kipphalle is a museum and event location.
