Hiking
There are four separate mouths that give entrance to the mines, the most beautiful are the no. 1, 3 and 4 the latter has two galleries. The mouth no. 2 is on the other side of the signpost, and has a small landing where the miners probably lived. Little is known about these mines, as they were probably mined by outsiders. It seems that they were operational from the middle to the end of the 19th century, from where galena - now depleted - and low quality iron (goethite) were extracted, which were commonly called ores.
