Teave

Kiired faktid: Slovakkia kaevanduslugu ulatub üle 1000 aasta tagasi ja see muuseum asub 19. sajandi kaevanduses, mis tootis kunagi hõbedat, kulda ja pliid. Maa-alused tunnelid ulatuvad pea 2 kilomeetrini ja püsivad pidevalt 8°C juures, andes külastajatele autentse tunde kaevuri igapäevasest reaalsusest.

Esiletõstmised: Külastajad roomavad läbi kitsaste tunnelite, mis on vaid 120 sentimeetrit kõrged, täpselt nii nagu kaevurid seda tegid, kasutades ainult oma pealampide valgust. Giidid on endised kaevurid, kes jagavad tooreid esimese käe lugusid plahvatustest, varingutest ja seltsimehelikkusest, mis hoidis neid maa all elus.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

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.
