Tytyri Mine Experience is a lime mine that has been active since the late 19th century, one of the deepest in Europe at more than 100 meters deep, and it represents Finland’s industrial heritage. It offers a unique insight into mining life and its impact on the Lohja region, preserving tools and workers’ stories.

Summer (June–August) is ideal because of the extended opening hours and milder travel weather, although the underground mine keeps a constantly cool temperature. Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy a quieter tour; avoid weekends if you prefer fewer people.

The mine is not fully accessible due to stairs and underground walkways, but there is a main elevator and adapted areas on the surface; it is recommended to contact them in advance about limited options.
