The Mining and Local History Museum Association in Mühlbach operates, in addition to the museum in the former miners‘ residence, which narrates the history of Mitterberg mining within its social context and showcases a rich geological and mineralogical collection, the show tunnel at Rohrmoosriedel.

The show tunnel is a former air raid shelter constructed in 1942 with a length of 120 meters. It was expanded by Matthias Haingartner, a former miner and founder of the Museum Association in Mühlbach, along with many helpers, through additional side shafts. The tunnel was opened on December 4, 1987, as part of the Barbara celebration.

Running in a north-south direction across Rohrmoosriedel at an altitude of 880 meters, the north portal is accessible via the Pfisterer Bridge crossing the Schrambach, while the south portal is above the kindergarten.

The 15 stations within the tunnel vividly illustrate the development of mining in Mühlbach am Hochkönig from prehistory to the late 1970s. Guided tours are offered through the museum with specially trained personnel and are particularly recommended for families.
