The hike can be said to have taken place in two stages. The first attempt was on February 6, but it was an unsuccessful experiment with raw foodism. It was the 10th day of your raw food diet, and I had to climb a mountain and cross it to get to the mine, but I was feeling very weak. I had to take a break and considering that I still had to find the mine, I decided to stop the hike, had lunch, rested, and then headed back. The conclusion is that you shouldn't be experimenting with your diet before a mountain hike. I returned to the city, had a good meal, and rested. On February 27, I went again, and you know what? I didn't even notice the climb and confidently completed the task I set for myself, which was to find that old mine.
Let's start in order. Firstly, here's a photo from the February 6 hike. It was already warm, but there was still a lot of snow on the trail and the mountains around. You can see here that there was still a lot of snow in some parts of the trail.
Here is a photo from that mountain that I mentioned earlier, where the hike actually ended that day.
All these photos are just from the old primer that leads to the adit, and the road itself can also be seen in the photo.
These photos are already from February 27, there is almost no snow.
But if you want, you can find snow.
Here I am at the foot of the mountain where the hike ended on February 6.
The ascent is rather long, but if you walk along the road, it becomes easy, in these photos I am already higher.
An interesting photo turned out, as if I was shooting from a helicopter.
The same dirt road rises up the hill and branches off from Odjuk in the direction of Begar.
Further, around the bend, the road goes downhill and for some time it is very clearly visible.
Near the river, at this point the old primer ends, I thought forever.
But soon, in places, the road appears again.
But for the most part, this old dirt road is badly destroyed, in places only a path, in places it can only be guessed.
But be that as it may, the road copes with its purpose, namely, it leads to the Abandoned fluorite adit in the Odjuk gorge. Here is the first photo.
I took this photo later, on purpose I went to another slope in order to see the whole picture. The photo clearly shows the road that approaches the adit, the dump turns white under the road. I saw, I almost shed a tear, everything is like we have mountains in Dun Morogh, snow, adits... :)
This is how the adit looks up close.
Photo with me for scale.
It is theoretically possible to get inside, of course, but the water at first is knee-deep and then only gets deeper. Considering that it is still winter, the water is cold, and in general it is not very reasonable to climb into such places without appropriate equipment and the necessary experience.
You can't see the end from the beginning, probably a deep mine, I tried to bring it closer, but with my soap box it didn't work out very well.
Here on the site are all sorts of adaptations that were used in the mining process, rails, apparently, they drove through the adit on trolleys and the remains of a water mill, like.
The platform itself is wide with a beautiful view, we are just planning a hike, the transition from the Odjuk gorge to Begar, probably you will spend the night hereм.
Well, a few photos from the gorge where the Abandoned adit in Odjuk is located.
This is how the trip turned out, I hope you were interested.
