Recordist's notes

Seeking shelter from rain, in the remains of an old iron ore mine. The inscription says: "Eisensegen 1937", but in fact mining here and in the whole area started already in the 18th century. Clear water flows out of a tube, some people come here daily to fill their bottles and canisters for drinking water. (Sony PCM D50, Primo EM272)
