The St. Anna Stollen is a show mine located in Nothweiler, Rheinland-Pfalz. This former iron ore mine is now a protected cultural monument. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the history of mining in the region and to learn about the geological processes that led to the formation of the iron ore deposits.
