TELLURIUM SILVER MINE
Go there and contact
A unique opportunity to discover the world of the St. Jean Engelsbourg mine in a playful way whatever your age.
Come and discover the mining heritage of the Val d'Argent in a fun and/or sporting way! The Tellure Mining Park plunges you into the heart of the Saint-Jean-Engelsbourg mine and its great column: the largest underground cavern in the Vosges! The facilities are designed for all ages and abilities, from the very young to the very old. The most courageous can have a blast on one of the sporting trails, in the heart of the bowels of the earth: underground Via Ferrata, abseiling, Tyrolean traverse above the void, caving in galleries dating back to the 16th century... There's something for beginners and experts alike! There's also a special Via Ferrata for kids: with climbing, abseiling and a zip line, children aged 8 and over can discover this activity. But that's not all! The Parc Minier Tellure also presents the very first underground escape game ever conceived: "L'Eveil du Dragon", which takes place in teams of 3 to 8 people (aged 12 and over). An incredible setting for an unusual adventure. Claustrophobes please! Adventurers can also try their hand at the fantastic "Tellureland, Cobalt and the Evil Object" treasure hunt. For the less adventurous, there's the museum trail, the panoramic cinema with its giant screens, and the optical theater with its play of light and shadow. Put on your headphones, enjoy the silence and... set off on a journey to the center of the Earth!

Le musée est très intéressant et bien realisé et les grottes sont impressionantes.
Nous étions avec nos enfants de 3 et 6 ans et ils ont eu beaucoup de plaisir également.
Nous reviendrons dans quelques années pour faire les via ferrata qu'ils proposent, ça a l'air vraiment génial !
