Visit the old mining museum

Najboljši čas za obisk

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.

Nasveti za proračun

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.

O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Slovaška rudarska zgodovina sega več kot 1.000 let nazaj, ta muzej pa stoji v rudniku iz 19. stoletja, ki je nekoč dajal srebro, zlato in svinec. Podzemni rovi se raztezajo skoraj 2 kilometra in imajo stalno temperaturo 8 °C, kar obiskovalcem daje pristen občutek rudarjeve vsakdanje resničnosti.

Poudarki: Obiskovalci se plazijo skozi ozke rove, visoke le 120 centimetrov, natanko tako kot rudarji, pri tem pa uporabljajo le svetlobo svojih čelnic. Vodniki so upokojeni rudarji, ki delijo surove zgodbe iz prve roke o eksplozijah, zrušitvah in tovarištvu, ki jih je pod zemljo ohranjalo pri življenju.

Notranji nasveti

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.
