Going mining with the family

Playing, solving puzzles, doing crafts, picnicking...The Zollern Colliery has plenty to offer for a family outing.

Family Sundays

Every fourth Sunday, there is a special offer for families: at 12 noon, children can explore the ‘miner's path’ with a parent, followed by the children's workshop, which offers a new craft activity each time (1–3 p.m.). The ‘Castle of Work’ guided tour at 3 p.m. is also aimed specifically at families on this day.

Cost: admission only (children free), craft activity 3 Euro

Playground

Preschoolers can romp around behind the beer garden of our restaurant ‘Pferdestall’. There, kids can do everything they love to do in summer: slide down a small climbing frame, sift sand and, above all, play with sand and water to their hearts' content. There is also a water pump and lots of mud channels and boxes, as well as a wide net swing. For older children, there is an extended playground behind the historic workshop with a cable car and spiral slide. The equipment is modelled on facilities that used to be found underground. Picnic tables are also available in the immediate vicinity of the playground.
