Rammelsberg Museum & Besucherbergwerk Harz Mountains

The shafts and buildings of this 1000-year-old mine are now a museum and Unesco World Heritage Site. Admission to the mine includes a German-language tour and a pamphlet with English explanations of the 18th- and 19th-century Roeder Shafts, the mine railway and the ore-processing section. It's located about 2km south of the town centre; bus 803 stops here.
