This place gives me serious Chernobyl vibes, but way more accessible! I was blown away by those hanging locker chains – something about seeing actual clothes left behind gave me chills. Did anyone else feel like you could sense the miners’ presence? I went on a Wednesday morning last October and practically had the place to myself, which was perfect for photography. Those steam engines in low light are photographer’s dream material!
I’m curious though – how accurate were the directions for everyone else? The article mentions GPS struggles and I had similar issues finding it initially. Also wondering if anyone’s visited both in summer and winter? Trying to decide when to bring my dad who worked in mining for 30 years – he’d absolutely geek out over the rescue station equipment. Any particular guide who really stands out? I had this older gentleman with the most incredible stories about his grandfather working there, totally made the experience.
