We do not know much about this mine, other than that it used to deliver nice Torbernit, Autunit etc..
The mine closed in 1991.
The dumps of the mine were very small and next to the road, usually the material went from the mine straight to the train...
but the dumps have been removed completely ('vacuumed')
The mine shaft is still open... don't jump in, it's said to be 165 m. deep...
