Visit the old mining museum
أفضل وقت للزيارة
Weekday mornings are quietest, with smaller tour groups and less waiting. The mine stays a steady 8°C year-round, so the season matters less than avoiding afternoon crowds.
نصائح للميزانية
Entry costs around €12 for adults, with discounts for students and seniors. A combined ticket with the nearby mining museum in the town center saves roughly 20% if you plan to visit both.

حول
حقائق سريعة: Slovakia's mining history spans over 1,000 years, and this museum sits inside a 19th-century mine that once produced silver, gold, and lead. The underground tunnels stretch nearly 2 kilometers and remain at a constant 8°C, giving visitors an authentic feel of a miner's daily reality.
النقاط البارزة: Visitors crawl through narrow tunnels just 120 centimeters tall, exactly as miners did, using only the light of their headlamps. The guides are retired miners who share gritty firsthand stories about explosions, cave-ins, and the camaraderie that kept them alive underground.
نصائح من الداخل
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and bring a jacket; the mine stays at 8°C regardless of outside weather.
- Book the longer tour (about 2 hours) instead of the short one; the extra 30 minutes includes a section only accessible by crawling.
- Keep your hands free by leaving backpacks in the lockers provided, as some passages require using both hands to climb.
- Headlamp batteries are provided, but bring a small flashlight to spot tiny crystal formations in the walls that the group light often misses.
