An excursion to a coal mine in Hrastnik
|
|
|
First we needed to change into protective clothes and sign a guestbook.
|
|
Equipped with lamps and cameras, we embarked on a long walk (and crawl) in the mine.
|
|
At the beginning, the tunnels were high enough to walk in, but they were full of abandoned equipment.
|
|
Trudging along the tunnel.

|
An alcove for resting. There weren't many about.

The visibility was very low and we had to be extra careful not to step onto the coal transporter.

Who wants out?

In the train which brought us back up and saved us 976 steps.

Finally, we were at the end of our adventure.

Back in the blaring sun.
