Geology – Uranium mines

The Museum allows schools to go for a hike together with geologists. This guided visit/tour accompanied with geologists allows you to discover a very special mining area: the Eureka mine. Although this uranium mine was abandoned after a period of activity in the 1960’s, the veins of the mineral can still be observed and easily identified by the pupils. You start walking for about 40 minutes until the Eureka mine, located in the village of Castell Estaó. The way back to the coach is done through the same path. Requirements: take breakfast, water as well as suitable clothes and shoes.
