Description

This is a prehistoric mine, which means it was mine long ago during the Stone Age. There are nearly no remains of the mining tools of that time, but the stone age miners left kilometers of narow passages. This mine is said to be the oldest mine in Europe, but the UNESCO seems to think that  Les minières de silex néolithique de Spiennes is the oldest one.
