This one-of-a-kind adventure is a combination of both. It involves kayaking, but with an amazing twist!\r\n\r\nThe picturesque region of northern Slovenia called Koro\u0161ka (Carinthia) is a mountainous land of astonishing natural splendour. But its beauty isn\u2019t limited to the stunning countryside you can see. Koro\u0161ka\u2019s\u00a0subterranean world<\/strong>\u00a0is just as fascinating. Besides being home to a legendary king that sleeps under a mountain, the place is famous for its abundance of ore deposits and has a rich mining history. One such mine is located in Me\u017eica. Ceasing its operations in 1994, the mine was gradually flooded, turning its excavation sites into magnificent\u00a0underground lakes<\/strong>. And we\u2019re taking you there not only to see this subterranean spectacle, but to paddle down its waterways.\r\n\r\nOur adventure begins at the mine\u2019s entrance, where you\u2019ll\u00a0board a genuine mining train<\/strong>\u00a0which will take you down a 3.5 km tunnel deeper into the mine. Your journey then continues by descending 95 m to a flooded underground shaft. Once at the water\u2019s edge, you\u2019ll receive all the necessary protective equipment (neoprene boots, a life jacket and a mining helmet with a flashlight) and board a three-person kayak. Accompanied by a professional guide, you\u2019ll set off to explore a\u00a0labyrinth of submerged tunnels<\/strong>, excavation sites and wonderful\u00a0underground lakes<\/strong>\u00a0700 m under the Earth\u2019s surface. Following a narrow passage, you\u2019ll paddle across a few minor rapids and arrive back at the starting point.\r\n\r\nAfter your kayak ride, you\u2019ll take a walk past abandoned underground working sites to the mining train station. You\u2019ll learn about the history of the mine and enjoy an\u00a0authentic miner\u2019s lunch<\/strong>. Then you\u2019ll hop on the train which will take you back to the mining museum and the light of day.\r\n\r\nMaximum number or participants in one group is 12 people.","price":"89\u20ac","hide_price":false,"extras":[{"add_extra":"Transfer from Ljubljana","add_extra_price":""},{"add_extra":"Transfer from Bled","add_extra_price":""}],"highlights_new":"Take a train ride deep into a flooded mine.\r\n\r\nKayak through a labyrinth of passages, excavation sites and stunning underground lakes.\r\n\r\nTry an authentic miner\u2019s lunch and learn all about life underground.","included_new":"Neoprene boots\r\n\r\nLife jacket\r\n\r\nHelmet and head light\r\n\r\nSnack\r\n\r\nProfessional guide","pickup_location_and_time":"
