For many millennia, the gold-bearing gravel banks have been lying in the river of the Zwischbergental. The gold flakes are of a beautiful light yellow, shiny colour. For a long time this treasure was forgotten. You go in search of the yellow metal with what is probably the last gold panner in Gondo. Shovel and gold panning pan are ready and waiting for you to find the gold and carry it home.
The guide accompanies your group throughout the day and immerses you in the history of the gold rush in the Zwischberg valley.
Leave everyday life behind and immerse yourself in a gold rush adventure!
