★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sehr spannend, wenn man alte Steine und abgelegene, einsame Orte mag.
Very exciting if you like old stones and remote, lonely places.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The mines of Laurion (or Lavrion)[1] are ancient mines located in southern Attica between Thoricus and Cape Sounion, approximately 50 kilometers south of Athens, in Greece. The mines are best known for producing silver, but they were also a source of copper and lead. A number of remnants of these mines (shafts, galleries, surface workshops) are still present in the region.
The mines were exploited in prehistoric times as a source of copper and galena, a lead ore. In the classical period, mining in the area resumed. The Athenians used large numbers of slaves to mine the area, with the silver produced contributing significantly to the city's wealth. Abandoned in the 1st century BC, the mines were "rediscovered" in 1860 and mined for their lead by French and Greek companies until 1977.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Glad to see they've finally had some help to give it the effort and care it deserves as an industrial historical landmark. We used to go past remains on mountain walks but to see it fully excavated and pathed is great.
