Idrija: The Mine Shaft Doors and a Quiet Day of Work

Day six in Idrija. I spend a quiet morning under the Gewerkenegg Castle clock, watch the lace-makers at work, and take a final, unhurried descent into Anthony's Shaft. A reflection on 500 years of mining, the town's patient reinvention, and the ordinary work of a working day. ☕ Enjoying the show?
