Professional guides will take you through shafts and lit galleries, where you'll see illustrations of mining jobs and a unique underground chapel. You'll likely get a raincoat at the start of the tour, but do come prepared for cool underground temperatures. Anthony's Shaft Mining Museum is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , custom trip planner Edition.

Europe's biggest mercury mine, closed for production but open for visitors. Nice opportunity to see how miners worked from 500 years ago till recent times.
