Volunteers Demonstrate Brown Coal Mining

In the muddy, restored brown coal pit, volunteers show how the work could be done with simple tools and a wooden cart. The summer demonstration at Abildå Brown Coal Pit gives a concrete impression of the heavy manual labor before machines took over more of the digging

The low wooden cart shows how excavated material could be moved in small loads through the soft terrain
