Aiming to preserve the traditional mining heritage and develop the tourist offer of the less-developed borderline area of Medimurje, TEAM Ltd. management decided to initiate a project to restore the old coal separator.
Being the owner of the facility with such historical value, we have set a goal to restore and protect the separator, and perform a conversion of the same into a "Spomen dom rudarstva" ( Mining memorial hall )
To be a miner required a lot of quality's: fearlessness, bravery, dedication, solidarity and diligence. They spend their days in dark and cold, wet and stuffy mining pits, daily exposed to various dangers, and after a hard shift, oftenly starved and chilled, they would walk for 5 kilometers to their homes. Their bread was bitter, but thanks to our miners our bread today is a lot sweeter.
The fact that our town wears the name ''Town of the miners'' states how big is the significance of the miners. As a sign of appriciation to miners for all of their hard work, we decided to preserve the momory of mining days and boldly started a big project of preservation, protection and promotion of the mining heritage.
