The Erzberg Mine is the largest open-pit mine in Central Europe, the most important ore deposit in the Alps, a symbol of industrialisation and a central part of the Iron Route. Rock has been mined at the Styrian Erzberg for more than 1300 years. The hard work of many men and women brought it to its present form from 1890 onwards.
Today, a total of 12 million tons of rock are produced annually in the multi-level
open-pit mine using state-of-the-art technology. The produced annual quantity of 3.2
million tonnes of pure iron ore is shipped to Voestalpine AG, based in Linz and
Donawitz.
In the world's largest taxi with 1.217 horsepower - the new Hauly - you will go along
the benches of the ore mountain and watch the other heavy-duty trucks and wheel loaders
at work. You will learn interesting facts about ore mining above above ground and the
miners' everyday work.
