Online-Program
The virtual tour of the Gabrielenzeche provides insights into mining life. Two of our “miners” take you from the adits and shafts of the early 20th century to the last years of coal mining in Austria. In addition to covering daily work routine, mineworkers’ slang and dangers of mining, this online tour also shows historical machines in action! 
“Good luck!” or “Glück auf!”, as German-speaking miners say, to all who virtually “enter the mountain” on this tour!
