A photographic foray through the historic old town of Wetzlar. With its carefully restored half-timbered houses and the Lahn Bridge, which is famous beyond the region, the old town, which is protected as a cultural monument, is ideal for unusual picture motifs. If required, a Leica camera can be provided.
29,00 € pro Person
In the old town with its medieval squares and winding alleys, charming half-timbered houses next to representative buildings from the time of the Imperial Chamber Court characterize the townscape. Goethe's stay in Wetzlar is commemorated in the Lottehaus. Experiences in the summer of 1772 inspired the poet to write his first great literary success, the epistolary novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther". Fascinating is also the unfinished gothic cathedral, which reflects a piece of the city's history with its combination of Romanesque and gothic style elements.
The city tour takes place at 10 am. Payment before the event.

During the 1 hr mine tour (from 6 years) our guests walk underground through the gallery to the shaft. From there, the pit cage takes them vertically down to the 150-meter level. Afterwards, they take the mine train to the mining area, where experienced mine guides demonstrate the original machines and explain work processes as well as special features of the mountain. The noise of the machines, but also the mysterious silence give an impression of the fascinating world of the miners underground.
