On the 2nd day of the REECOL project progress meeting, the project partners visited the lands of Premogovnik Velenje (PV) coal mine that undergo rehabilitation and the Coal Mining Museum of Slovenia in Velenje – both the surface and underground part. At both places they acquired a lot of interesting information, among others about:
– the process of phasing out the coal excavation at the PV mine, and about their past, current and future land reahabilitation activities
– the technology of coal excavation in the PV mine
– the beginnings and history of the PV coal mine, persons that played an important role in it, and coal miners’ everyday life in the past.
