Immerse yourself in the exciting world of miners on this informative circular hike in the silver town of Schwaz. The tour is exciting for young and old.

The tour leads through the former mining district of Falkenstein, where steel ore was mined in more than 250 mine tunnels from 1400 to 1957. Copper and silver were extracted from these ores as valuable metals. The staged Knappensteig trail has a total of ten stations with information on local mining from days gone by.
