About the history of mining in Steinhaus

Beneath wildly ascending mountain walls ending in snowy peaks holding the ground for mountain farms, lies Steinhaus in the valley of Tauferer Ahrntal. The village, named after its remarkably large copper-red stone-houses, was long time the administrative center of the copper mine in Prettau. All goods needed for the mining business were stored here in a large warehouse along with the corn – the miners’ food and wages in kind. After the mine was shut down, this so-called “Kornkasten” was standing empty for many years. Today it homes the mining museum, giving precious insights into the mining history in Steinhaus.

In the outdoor-paradise Klausberg

Not far from here lies the mine of Prettau with the show mine offering an adventurous tour and the Climatic Gallery – best place to heal when dealing with allergies and asthma. South of Steinhaus the villages of St. Johann and Luttach invite for a visit as well as Sand in Taufers with its wonderful Castle, the waterfalls of Rein and the ski-resort Speikboden.

Directly at the hotels in Steinhaus lies the hike and ski arena Klausberg offering numerous outdoor possibilities. Bikers can bring their rides on the cableway and start their tour at the top, to for instance Lake Klaussee – a popular destination - reachable within short time. If you are looking for a reclusive holiday destination at the foot of one of the most beautiful mountains in the region, find here the most beautiful hotels in Steinhaus in the South Tyrolean Ahrntal.
