Description
The abandoned mines of the village of Slyudorudnik in the Chelyabinsk region are a unique place that attracts numerous tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. In the 19th century, these places were the center of gold mining, and then bauxite deposits were discovered, which led to the active development of muscovite and bauxite deposits for the defense industry.
Today, the village of Slyudorudnik continues to live its normal life, attracting tourists with its abandoned mines. Many of the mine entrances have collapsed, but some are well preserved and can be accessed by tourists. The total length of the abandoned adits is several kilometers, and they are home to numerous bats.
Tourists visiting the abandoned mines of Slyudorudnik should be careful due to the threat of collapses and the presence of vertical wells. Inside the adits you can see preserved narrow-gauge rails, and in winter the walls and arches of the adits are decorated with fancy snow patterns.
