Hasard Cheratte near Liege

A remarkable malakow tower has been constructed in 1907 above shaft nr. 1, which was 170 m deep. The buildings nearby house the baths and offices. The winding tower of shaft nr. 2 (depth 313 m), a steel construction dated 1923, is no longer preserved. Shaft nr. 3, with 480 m the deepest one at Hasard Cheratte, was intended to be worked by a tower-type winder, but finally the tower has been converted into a headgear with diagonal brace and a flat rope winding engine. 'Puits Hognée', the shaft on the hill behind the mine, has been used to lift waste material to a spoil tip. The adit is still visible just nearby the capped shaft nr. 1 underneath the malakow tower. The mine is a sleeping beauty since it's closure in 1977

This was great fun

Group shot

Cheers

cheers SK

This was an odd one, was told by a freind in BE, to hang around the entrance and a bloke will approach you for access (couple of euros)

so if anyone is thinking of it I have his number if you would like it

nah, but to be fair the route to get in without him looked a bloody trek, so was happy to give a few bob

id have to agree with you mate the place is worth it!and from what ive heard a lot of location euro side come with a small fee

I`ve heard that about some hospitals but luckily this is the only one that cost us, but as you say, you`ve spent a fair bit of 壣 getting there so for such a place a few euros doesnt hurt, plus your not looking over your shoulder
