Saiga Mine

IMG_1180.jpg

A short underground excursion to an old abandoned mine in the steppes of the Orenburg region. Locals call it the Saiga Mine. Once upon a time, several centuries ago, copper ore was mined here. Mining was done manually, without any serious units. The output was large, but when the mine was exhausted, it was abandoned and over time the passages collapsed. Only a small cave remained. Tourists do not particularly visit this place, since it is not possible to take cool photos here, but you can still visit this place, at least for the sake of it.
