With Kuno, the miner, on the way into the world of miners: He shows what is hidden in tunnels and caves, how a rope hoist works and lays the trail for further discoveries.
"Glück auf!" S0 is the greeting on the Oetz theme trail, where several child-friendly stations on the theme of mining are lined up along the 2.5-kilometre route: Kristallfelsen > Steinmühle > Kunos Stollen > Balbach Alm > Kunos Seilzug > Kühtaile Alm > Kristallwasser > Bergstation. The Balbach Alm and Kühtaile Alm are great places to stop for refreshments, and the ascent and descent is easy with the mountain railroad.
