Directions:
Overview of Johanngeorgenstadt, the site of the uranium mine
from which Klaproth procured his ore for his discovery of uranium. Even though
a train station exists in Johanngeorgenstadt, one may prefer to drive to negotiate
about this rather inaccessible community. The train station is within walking
distance to the uranium mine, but there is a hilly, tiring walk to reach the
museum.
