About
This outdoor tour follows the Museum’s mine-water treatment process, from pumping and purification to the reed beds and return to the watercourse.
Museum volunteers explain why the water appears orange and how the treatment system works. The route may cross uneven paths, so suitable clothing and footwear are advised; children must be supervised.
