Avan mine is a salt mine which is still working. This mine is also used for speleotherapy in a subterranean clinic which was built for this purpose.
The patients of this clinic use the elevator, which is also used by the miners to transport the salt. The lift is not lighted, the guide takes an electric torch with him. In the level 235m below surface, the Republican Speleotherapeutical Hospital is located.
