Showcasing an abandoned colliery:

These cages are called Kaue. It was used by the miners to put their clothes, shoes and private belongings in. They could lever the cage by a chain, and lock it. Each chain had its unique number, counting up to 4700 and more. Gives you an idea of the size of this place.

Impressive and surreal scenery. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
