we took the tour with the train to go into the mine. It is quite interesting to also see the whole complex. the only thing is that most of the descriptions are in German which is not very convenient for non German speaking.

Service at the ticket counter was inefficient and unprofessional. Prepare to wait in line for a very long time! I know that the place is challenged by the corona restrictions, but we visited a lot of other attractions with the same restrictions that handled many more visitors in a much more efficient way. The exhibition was great though! Amazing to walk among the great machinery of the mine. But sadly there were no info-signs on the machines to explain their different purposes. It seemed like the exhibition was ment for guided tours. I wish they would put up signs with little explanatory texts by the machines and the different factory departements - that would really improve the experience when you go through the exhibition on your own.…

My girlfriend and I luckily got an English tour to see how the mine functioned some 200 years ago, which was an awesome tour inside of the mine. That was all good and well, but as soon as that tour ended, you’re on your own and English is sparse. Don’t go here expecting to learn a whole bunch if you don’t speak German. Such a shame. The place has great potential, and the only thing I’m immensely frustrated by is that there’s no information about anything in English. …

The back story is of course great. We were however not really satisfied from the tour. It was pretty monotone and no train ride. That is a NO GO!

The site it at walkable distance from the downtown Goslar. On Saturday noon it was almost empty but in the afternoon when I left much more people crowded the reception area. There was neither tours in English nor audioguides available. My choice was to crawl to some tunnels with a brochure by my own or to walk above the ground level with sort of an audioguide, namely headphones which were pluggable to the sockets in the walls sometimes so I could listen to some info. I chose the second variant. Actually, I discovered only one place which is worth visiting, it's called "Magazin" or smth similar and contains a whole exhibition on how this object worked years ago, most of information was translated in English. So, if you don't speak German you better call them in advance to find out when there's a tour in English.…
