While most mines have been left abandoned and many cleaned up , the Gruve 3 mine was only shut down in and has been converted into a museum. There is a huge network of tunnels that go deep into the mine, but you will only head meters feet in on your tour. There are crawl spaces that are replicas of the mine shaft that you can also go into if you are not claustrophobic like me.
