Bergbaumuseum Achthal and its collection

The Bergbaumuseum Achthal, located in Achthal, is dedicated to the history of iron ore mining on the Teisenberg. This mountain, situated between Inzell in the Traunstein district and Teisendorf and Anger in the Berchtesgadener Land district, was once a significant site for iron ore extraction. The museum provides a comprehensive overview of this historical industry.

The Bergbaumuseum Achthal is housed in the former administrative building of the ironworks, a structure that is now a protected monument. This adds a layer of historical authenticity to the museum. Additionally, the museum features an artificially created show tunnel, providing visitors with a unique insight into the mining process.
