Machines abandoned underwater in an old mine in Germany 🇩🇪

Felicitas was once a working slate mine, with tunnels and chambers cut deep into the rock. After the mine closed and the pumps stopped, groundwater slowly flooded the system, leaving machinery, mine carts, rails and tools behind.

Today, more than 3 km of permanent guideline runs through the mine, with passages reaching around 45 metres deep in water that stays close to 8°C.

Some sections are large and open, while others are much tighter and still show clear traces of the mining work that once took place here.

Diving through it feels like entering a hidden part of Germany’s industrial history that has simply been left underwater.
