Intro
The Innerferrera Mining Museum focuses on ore mining in the southern catchment areas of the Hinterrhein.
The Innerferrera Mining Museum focuses on ore mining in the southern catchment areas of the Hinterrhein. On display are objects that were used in ore mining, from carbide lamps and miners' picks to mine carts. A model of a cable car, numerous photographs and historical documents as well as exhibits of the ores mined, including silver, lead and copper, enrich the exhibition. Ore mining in the Schams, Hinterrhein and Ferrera regions probably dates back well into the Middle Ages. The history is documented from 1605. In addition to the high-altitude mines, there were smelters and smelting plants in Innerferrera, Ausserferrera, Sufers and Andeer. The Hinterrhein Ore Mines Association, which founded the Innerferrera Mining Museum, illustrates the eventful history of mining and offers guided tours of the tunnels and facilities.
