The mine did open up into this room where there was an example of the silver and zinc that used to be mined there. We descended about 80 of the 1550 meters of the mine. Though the minerals harvested here were the main source of the areas wealth for hundreds of years, with no more silver or zinc to be found, it now strictly functions as a museum.
