Vagonetto

At the 51st km of the Lamia - Amfissa National Road south of Gravia is the Fokida Mining Park. One of the tunnels opened for underground bauxite mining, Tunnel 850, was closed in 1972 due to depletion of the mineral.

After 26 years of 'silence' the tunnel was turned into a visitor area for the public to learn the history of bauxite.

Since September 2003, the vagonetto, that is the train used by the miners to transport bauxite, becomes a means of transport for visitors from the beginning of the route and the tour of the world of miners begins.

The mining history exhibition space, the outdoor machinery exhibition, as well as the interactive digital technology wing, complete the visitors' tour.
