This series of shots is from an old magnesite mine that was in operation from 1901 until the mid 1990s. After extraction, the magnesite ore was transported to the magnesite processing plant by cable car from 1949. From the end of the 1960s, the ecological consequences of the magnesite operation began to be pointed out, especially the dust that was created during the processing of magnesite and significantly polluted the air in Kosice. As a result, the city became one of the dirtiest in Czechoslovakia.
