O

Rýchle fakty: Banská história Slovenska siaha viac ako 1 000 rokov dozadu a toto múzeum sa nachádza v 19. storočnom bani, ktorá kedysi ťažila striebro, zlato a olovo. Podzemné chodby merajú takmer 2 kilometre a udržiavajú stálu teplotu 8 °C, čo návštevníkom sprostredkúva autentický pocit z každodennej reality baníka.

Zaujímavosti: Návštevníci sa plazia úzkymi chodbami vysokými iba 120 centimetrov, presne tak ako baníci, pričom im svietia iba čelovky. Sprievodcami sú vyslúžilí baníci, ktorí sa delia o drsné príbehy z prvej ruky o výbuchoch, závaloch a kamarátstve, ktoré ich držalo pri živote pod zemou.

Insiderské tipy

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.
