With Kuno, the miner, on the way into the world of miners: He shows what is hidden in tunnels and caves, how a rope hoist works and lays the trail for further discoveries.
"Glück auf!" S0 is the greeting on the Oetz theme trail, where several child-friendly stations on the theme of mining are lined up along the 2.5-kilometre route: Kristallfelsen > Steinmühle > Kunos Stollen > Balbach Alm > Kunos Seilzug > Kühtaile Alm > Kristallwasser > Bergstation. The Balbach Alm and Kühtaile Alm are great places to stop for refreshments, and the ascent and descent is easy with the mountain railroad.
This trail is all about Miner Kuno. Follow his lead and learn all about mining. What can you find inside caves and mines? Where do crystals come from?
