The Potash Mines

The Alsace Potash Mines, once famous for their operation, have now ceased activity.

However, several sites still bear witness to this rich industrial history.

Touring these places with a former miner, you dive into the heart of the Alsatian mining adventure.

You can admire an exceptional global mineral collection, discover the famous 'hanging room' where miners prepared before their workday, as well as the methods and living conditions of these men.

The visit concludes with a video montage that retraces this human and technical epic.
