Anthony's Shaft Mining Museum serves as both an education center and entry point for the mine. The entrance represents one of the oldest preserved mine entries in all of Europe. 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.

We visited the HG mine & melting plant today, on August 28, 2022. Great place! It’s a must for tourists in Slovenia. Special words of thanks to Martha who was our guide in the HG melting plant. Very informative and memorable!

Very interesting place. I recommend to take some warm clothes because it's a bit cold underground. You get a helmet and a coat. Friendly guide, there're also audioguides available
