The Hauly tour at the Erzberg in Eisenerz puts visitors on a 100-tonne working mining truck for a guided circuit of the largest iron ore deposit in Central Europe, a terraced open-pit mountain that has been extracted for 1,200 years. The mine is still active; this is not a heritage site but a working industrial operation. Tours May to October; moderate admission; book in advance. By car from Leoben (35 km north on the B115). Combine with the underground Schaubergwerk tour at the same site for a full day at one of Austria’s most unusual industrial landscapes.
