Story
The Varagel Tunnel is an important mining tunnel that bears witness to Zonguldak's industrial history. Playing a critical role in the exploitation of Turkey's coal resources, this tunnel drove the region's economic development in the past century. Stretching along dark galleries, the tunnel tells of every step the miners dug with the sweat of their brows. The natural architecture formed by layers of stone and rock shows how the industrial age shaped nature through human strength. At the tunnel entrance there are operating records dating back to the 1920s. For those who want to get a close look at Zonguldak's mining heritage and who are interested in industrial archaeology, understanding the working conditions inside the tunnel with the help of guided tours is quite instructive.
