Excursion to the Merkers mine

March 2023

After a quick descent by lift (8m/second), we arrived at a depth of 500m. Underground, the temperatures ranged from 20 degrees to 28 degrees, depending on the depth. With open vehicles and humorous narrations by the drivers, we visited spectacular places such as the salt cave at a depth of 800 m, the concert hall with an impressive laser show, the museum and the gold room. After the three-hour tour, we drove to Fulda and ended this beautiful day with delicious pasta at the Italian restaurant "Basta e Pasta".
