Schwaz Silver Mine - "Glück auf!"

Experience the world of mining

In the Middle Ages, Schwaz was the mining center of Europe. Around 85% of the silver produced worldwide came from Schwaz, making the town the largest mining metropolis in the world in its heyday around 1500, and Tyrol became one of the richest countries in Europe. The great trading families became so influential that they dictated the politics of Europe and the discoveries of the New World with the silver from Schwaz.
