Tour description

The Bartholomäberg and the Silbertal are richly blessed with ores. Once this was the most important mining area in Vorarlberg. The peak period lasted from the 13th to the 16th century, but the beginnings probably go back even further. The path crosses two mining areas and leads to many visible traces. The cultural landscape as it is seen today also originated as a result of mining. To supply the miners with food, farmers were needed who practiced agriculture here. Since 2012, part of the area has been a protected cultural monument.
