Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Antiche Miniere di Calcaferro with additional information or photos.

A short and simple walk from the town of Mulina lies an abandoned mine that is in the midst of being taken over by nature. In what feels like a tropical rainforest, visitors will discover old mining equipment, stone buildings, and fresh-flowing water passes through the structures 

The walk is simple and a little over a mile (three-kilometer) hike in total and is accessible for all family members. 

Know Before You Go

Parking in Mulina is simple enough and free. Entry is free and you can explore at your leisure.
