The Coal way

After the mill, we invite you to discover the ancient trade of the coalman. Try and picture his hard life: walk into the shelter – a shack made of branches, leaves and earth, where coalmen spent long months far away from home, and look at the reconstruction of a coal cellar: this will give you an idea of how much effort and expertise were required to store the wood for burning in a workmanlike manner and to get coal.
