The Erlebnisbergwerk Velsen (experience mine Velsen) is a real coal mine, but the mining operations ended long ago. Neverthelesse the administration tries to show a modern working coal mining operation instead of just showing the remains of former days.
The tour starts with a ride on the mine train. Then the visitors walk through the Streb (a miners term for the place were coel is mined). They see all necessary machines in action, like coal mining machines, shields, grinders, conveyors and the pumping station. All this machinery works and the visitor gets a good impression how work underground feels like.
The whole mine is level, there are no steps, the mine is suitably for disabled visitors.
