    This is actually the deepest potash mine in the world (at almost 1525 meters)! It has been closed since 1997.

    The buildings around it are gradually being razed to the ground!

    The former high water tower was blown up on September 1st, 2022 and thus disappeared!

    Only the winding tower is now visible.

    There were very informative information boards at the entrance gate.

    Interesting area! It's a shame you can't enter it.
