Goldrush

Permanently Closed - Gold, who doesn't dream of getting rich with this! From the 17th to the 19th century, many countries experienced the so-called 'gold rush'. Many prospectors thought they could get rich quickly by mining gold. There was also a small community in the Netherlands where the gold rush spread. There are therefore only a few examples of real gold mines, such as Mijn 308 in Schoorl. A lot of gold was just never found. On September 24, 1869, the day known as Black Friday, the entire stock market was disrupted and the gold price plummeted. This is the day many mines closed their doors and many people were cured of their gold fever. Today My 308 has been transformed into a tourist attraction. The mine is 200 meters underground and the tunnel systems are kilometers long. Oxygen is limited and so a person can survive in the mine for a maximum of 60 minutes. Do you dare to visit My 308 and get out before the oxygen runs out?
