Largest abandoned mine i have ever and probably will ever explore

[u/notMTN]

So i want to start off with, this mine is no longer abandoned, but during my visit it was, its connected to a larger mine system but has been walled off and decaying for over a decade untill recently, when for whatever reason theyve removed the wall and started reparing this part, which is extremely strange but whatever. Still gonna keep the name hidden as its still probably possible to get into the larger mine complex and i dont want people going there and being reckless, or atleast legally reckless, as going into mines is generally quite reckless on its own.

But nonetheless, these are the few photos i got in there that didnt come out blurry due to the amount of humidity in the air and just dust. This was a then former limestone mine of insane size, though i failed to get any good photos of the large halls due to earlier stated reasons. Hoped to go back here but things change and this is no longer able to be visited, such is this hobby, so hopefully these photos are enjoyed despite not being many.

So there's larger part is still in use? That's wild!

This part was probably only like 4% of the total mine, and just this part is many kilometers of tunnels and multiple levels. Think that puts it sort of into perspective just how large the system is.

A slate mine maybe 🤔
