Fackelführung mit dem Hüttenwerker

Torchlight Tour

In the light of the torches you hike through the old steel mill and learn from our knowledgeable guides about the daily hard work of the past. The tour places a special emphasis on industrial history. Where workers high up in the cutting wind filled the boiling blast furnace or below, only protected with hat and gloves, broke open the tap hole, there was hellish noise, poisonous gases and sticky dusts that ate into the lungs. This tour is also intended to remind us of this. Explore the casting bay, hoppers & co. and look forward to a fiery evening.
