The tour takes you through the tunnels of the "Walert" mine, which was in operation from 1891 to 1963. Discover more than 70m underground large tunnels on two levels and impressive cavities in which your museum guide brings the time of the miners to life again. The machines and tools on display testify to iron ore mining in the region from the 1860s to the closure of the last mine in Lorraine in 1997.
