It didn't look like much at first, but when I got on and suddenly hit that slope - I got a bit scared, haha! How embarrassing that this happened to me!!! To actually get scared!!! It's just a little mining car!!! I refuse to accept this! So we went for another ride afterward.

After the mining car ride, we continued on.

(At the ventilation furnace) I saw people taking photos standing on those footprints. I just crouched there looking down into the hole and found it really creepy... I didn't dare go down the stairs - would any brave soul who went down please tell me what's down there? You'll definitely remember what I said when you're there! Because you'll realize that it's less than ten steps total, yet somehow scared this 170cm tall person from going down! But that hole really does look super creepy!!!
