Rudnik živega srebra Idrija

The best idea for a trip is to visit the second largest mercury mine in the world, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2012. 
Visit the Antonije tunnel dug in 1500, where you will be impressed by the more than 700 km long labyrinth of mine tunnels and the serenity of the underground chapel of the Holy Trinity. Continue the experience in the HG smelter, which, in addition to the modern visitors center, boasts the largest still-preserved rotary furnace for mercury extraction in the world.

Embark on an unforgettable journey from ore to drops of mercury and experience the uniqueness of this only liquid metal in the world, which significantly co-shaped the development of human civilization.
