The market surrounds the the cathedral in the center of the old section of town. The market gives the square a vitality with vendors selling local, seasonal produce, flowers, food, and other products. Concerts on the cathedral's organ occur every Saturday morning and feature both traditional and contemporary works. You can take tours of the cathedral by the docents and even visit the workshop where new stonework is carved using traditional tools.

ou can come across a large, beautiful area, think about the past. Look at the ruins and reflect on continuous and senseless fights between people who are concerned about differences in views, and mainly about the wealth that other people have.

Since 1976 Forschergruppe Steiber works to give you an authentic experience of three characteristic mining periods at the mining museum Schauninsland. Our tours, between 45 min and 2.5 h long, teach you about metal ore mining and the history of technology in a unique environment. The 45-min tour without minimum age enables you to get a first impression of the museum. Normal footwear and street cloths are sufficient. We also have tour leaflets in English. Please do not hesitate to ask for them! We avoid technical terms and with basic German skills you will be able to follow our guides’ explanations. Throughout the year we also offer special tours in English. We recommend our 2.5 h tour under the following conditions: Minimum age 12 years (exceptions possible for 10- and 11-year-olds, please talk to the supervisor). Normal fitness and a good physical constitution. Firm, closed footwear and sturdy hiking clothing. In the individual case we can help out with rubber boots and jackets; for 5 € we will provide you with disposable overalls. With the miner’s greeting ‘Gluckauf’ we wish you an interesting visit

I was really surprised to see how authentic the tour was. No paved roads just a mine as left when closed. We got safety gear, which was highly needed. :) I really enjoyed climbing up and down the old ladders. A lot of fun with a very fun and informed tour guide and complimentary Schnaps on the way out! Highly recommended!! ++++
