After that a mine train, multimedia shows and a treasure hunt await, in which children search for semi-precious stones with a torch. The Terra Mystica show mine near Bad Bleiberg lies entirely underground and is open all year round. When it is raining outside, that is exactly the trip that rescues a holiday day. ## What makes Terra Mystica interesting for families Children from the age of four may roam the secured maze of tunnels on the treasure hunt and keep the stones they find as a souvenir. Added to that are dinosaurs inside the mountain and light and sound effects that turn the guided tour into an adventure. ## What you will experience - A 68 m miners’ slide as the way in, with a lift and stairs as an alternative - Treasure hunt for semi-precious stones in the maze of tunnels (children from 4 to 12 years, for a surcharge) - Multimedia shows on the formation of the Earth and on humanity’s places of worship - Mining museum with 700 years of history and the Terra Humoristika caricature museum included - Constant tunnel temperature of around 9 °C, pleasantly cool even on hot summer days ## Our insider tip Dress warmly, in the tunnels it is around 9 °C all year round. If you still have time afterwards, have a coffee in nearby Bad Bleiberg. ## Good to know Terra Mystica show mine Opening hours all year round, guided tour times vary by season (in July and August hourly from 10:00 to 15:00, from November to April on Saturdays at 14:00) Admission € 22.50 for adults, € 12.50 for children (4 to 14 years), family rate cheaper from 3 people, free with the Kärnten Card Distance from the apartment in Villach approx. 15 km, 20 min by car Getting there Villach-West exit towards Bad Bleiberg (L35) [Website](http://terra-mystica.at) ## Frequently asked questions about the Terra Mystica show mine ![](https://apartments-villach.at/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/09/luisa-kofler-apart-of-me-villach-01-320x320.avif?v=1790767112) ### Off to Villach!
