    From 1915 to 1919, molybdenum ore was mined here, which is needed to harden and refine steel. During the First World War, there was naturally an increased demand, making mining in this remote area worthwhile. At the end of the war, the market collapsed and the mine was abandoned.

    Today, you can look into three tunnels from the large cave. The small fence might, however, tempt you to take a more detailed inspection :-)
