Dating back to the 13th century, this mine offers a truly immersive experience, taking you through narrow, hand-dug tunnels and steep medieval staircases. This tour is not for the faint-hearted or those with claustrophobia, mobility issues, or a fear of getting dirty – you will get dirty. The tunnels are narrow, some only 1.2 meters high, and the temperature is around 9°C, so warm clothing and sturdy footwear are essential.
