    Tips

    January 21, 2024

    You will be able to explore the traces of the mining activity that lasted from the 19th century until 1982, when the mine closed due to the exhaustion of the ore seam. You can see the entrances to the underground tunnels, some of which are still accessible, as well as the remains of the ore processing plant demolished in 1963. Along the way, you will also enjoy panoramic views of the wooded hills and red sandstones, typical of the region where the iron-rich sedimentary rock called Minette is found. It is a great way to discover the industrial heritage and natural beauty of Halanzy.
