Excursion to Schwaz

Tyrol through Space and Time

A true holiday highlight.

At the Schwaz Silver Mine you will visit the "Mother of all mines", the largest medieval silver mine! Ride on the "Grubenbahn" 800 metres deep into the extraordinary world of the mine. You will find yourself in an era in which the Earth was still flat and follow in the steps of the mountain residents who used to mine silver and copper 500 years ago.

From subterrestrial to extraterrestrial: The Schwaz Planetarium offers galactic variety in the cosmic cinema! Exciting performances open your eyes to the wonders of space and time …

Back down to earth again, how about a little bit of history? Visit one of the most beautiful late Gothic castles in Europe, Schloss Tratzberg. At the castle you will be "personally" introduced to Kaiser Maximilian I and other aristocratic owners of Tratzberg through an exciting audio play guide. They will tell you all about the over 500 year old castle still with its original furniture!
