Gambatesa slate mine is a modern mining Museum situated inside a still productive manganese mine. The visit runs over a real little cave-train along tunnels feeling like real miners. During the visit you will be able to know well drilling and the mineral processing methods, which kind of explosive they use, how they cock the mine-holes, the blast...... a real maze of tunnels that climb and dip down for dozen kilometres. Around the mine there is a ?world? to discover: compressor room (the oldest in the range), the wage room, the forge room, the explosive deposit, means of transport, the brunch area....A real immersion into the mining world which leads you back to past timesFrom Wednesday to Sunday 10.00 a.m. ? 7.00 p.m. ?
