Kongsberg II

On the second day of the conference, we usually have a dinner in the kings mine - which is one of the biggest. They have a dining room (kind of a cave) in the mine which is also heated. After the dinner there is usually a tour through the mine.



The mine in comparison with the Eiffel tower. The green stuff in the back represents other mines in the mountain - they were digging holes everywhere ;)




The miners used these kinds of ladders - took them more than an hour to get back to the top.


Since they didn't have dynamite, most of the tunnels were done with the fire method.

    Unfortunately I don't have that many more pictures of the mine and the fire method is simply burning a lot of wood in front of the stone wall so that is is heated up and gets cracks and then it is easier to remove the rock.
