− | Highlight is [[ | + | Highlight is [[Anthony Shaft]], the oldest part of the mine, today one of the oldest preserved mine entrances in Europe. The shaft was dug back in 1500, soon after mercury was first discovered. Named after Anthony of Padua, patron saint of miners, protector from mine accidents. The museum tour is 1,300 metres long in an authentically preserved mine. Guiding starts in ''Šelstev'' house from 18th century where miners used to get equipment early in the morning before entering the mine. Here visitors first see multivision show in the former call-in room, than professional guides take visitors through shafts and illuminated galleries with life-size mannequins which illustrate the various mining jobs, to the unique underground Chapel of the Holy Trinity, dating from the mid 18th century, the time of the greatest prosperity for the Idrija mine. Shaft was opened for public in year 1994. On entrance visitors get raincoats and are greeted with in Slovenian language ''SREČNO'', (good luck), that gets true meaning when entering the shaft. |
