FEATURES, ORIGINS, VALUES AND LEGAL PROTECTION
From the entrance the tourist route descends to a depth of 40.5m. The trail is a sequence of excavation chambers and corridors radiating out from three mineshafts, “Aniol”, “Szczesc Boze” and “Zmija”. On the route, visitors will encounter mining faces worked from the 16th to the 19th centuries, work stations of former miners, their tools, a variety of underground cavities that have been shaped by man and nature from the remnants of the silver-bearing galena, limestone and karst formations as well as underground water reservoirs. The boat ride along a 270m long flooded passageway is an extraordinary adventure which remain for a long time in the memory. On the surface there is the Museum of Mining, the Steam Engine Heritage Park, a restaurant, a cinema and conference facility, a kiosk selling minerals and souvenirs and a car park. The Historic Silver Mine, together with the “Black Trout” Adit are part of a vast, underground labyrinth made up of workings, corridors, chambers and passageways with a total length of about 150km. The historic silver mine made available to the public in 1976.
