The Mining and Local History Museum
Association in Mühlbach operates, in
addition to the museum in the former
miners‘ residence, which narrates the
history of Mitterberg mining within its
social context and showcases a rich
geological and mineralogical collection, the
show tunnel at Rohrmoosriedel.
The show tunnel is a former air raid shelter
constructed in 1942 with a length of 120
meters. It was expanded by Matthias
Haingartner, a former miner and founder
of the Museum Association in Mühlbach,
along with many helpers, through
additional side shafts.
The tunnel was opened on December 4,
1987, as part of the Barbara celebration.
Running in a north-south direction across
Rohrmoosriedel at an altitude of 880
meters, the north portal is accessible
via the Pfisterer Bridge crossing the
Schrambach, while the south portal is
above the kindergarten.
The 15 stations within the tunnel vividly
illustrate the development of mining in
Mühlbach am Hochkönig from prehistory
to the late 1970s. Guided tours are offered
through the museum with specially
trained personnel and are particularly
recommended for families.
