The reconstruction of the entry of the Middle Wheel of Fortune was finished in 2009. The gallery ends here, about 40m under your feet, as an open shaft. Look at the cavity in front, it's a hidden winding shaft. The little hole on its left however is the pit of an exploratory shaft following the ore lode. In former time the mined ore was pulled up by a rope drum. Working areas on this plan do not agree with reality, the drawing shows the basic facts only and is not drawn to scale. An information panel at the gallery Middle Wheel of Fortune provides further information.
A visit to the galery 'middle wheel of fortune' where you will find furten info signs will certainly be worth the effort of walking there!
