It was very nice to visit the place again after many years. It offers only guided tours, you cannot enter on your own. We had a bigger group, but people tried to keep social distancing. The interior is still great, rooms are beautifully preserved. Its a pity pictures cannot be taken. We visited the park after our tour, its gorgeous. Big, nicely kept. Overall we enjoyed our time spent there very much.

Small area with nice bars and shops with good walking zones and proper signs for orientation. You can see a lot of beautiful historical buildings and mining equipment/minerals available. Great place to walk would be suburb part of old town with tiny streets on the hill.
