TUNES, TRACKS, COAL
In 2018 there was a shift in the shaft for the hard coal mine in the area: Prosper Haniel in Bottrop was the last mine to shut down operations on December 21. At some places on and along the route, visitors can still experience the working world of the miners up close: Removed seams, reconstructed routes, training tunnels, training and demonstration mines authentically depict the hard everyday work underground - and some actually lead underground.
The offers are generally only accessible as part of guided tours. Please inform yourself about the current regulations and offers before your visit!
