Outpost of the Oberharzer Mining Museum
Today, the Ottiliae Shaft site serves as an outpost of the Oberharzer Mining Museum. A notable feature on the mine square is the shaft hall with its steel headframe from 1876, which is the oldest preserved headframe in Europe and is recognized as part of the World Cultural Heritage. This offers a unique glimpse into the past for visitors.
Day Transport Railway
A unique feature of the Ottiliae Shaft site is the day transport railway, which was rebuilt in 1993 on the historical route between the former Clausthaler station and the Ottiliaeschacht. This 600 mm gauge railway allows museum visitors to travel from the station to the Ottiliae Shaft, adding an element of historical authenticity to their visit.
