Did you know that there is a museum in Estonia that offers the opportunity to dive into the history of mining and experience the world of miners? Sounds exciting, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estonian Mining Museum is 167 km from Tallinn and 130 km from Tartu. In the museum you can put on the rubber boots, a miner coat, and pick up a lamp. Going underground, you will see, hear, and feel what the miners who were working underground for several decades did. On the territory of the museum, you can also climb into a dig bucket and learn about different mining techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
