About Zabytkowa Kopalnia Srebra
The Historic Silver Mine of Tarnowskie Góry displays part of the underground works linked to ore extraction and water management. The complex is part of a World Heritage site that includes structures broader than the single tourist entrance to the mine.
The circuit allows you to see galleries and understand the relationship between extraction, circulation and drainage. It should not be confused with a salt mine: materials, processes and spaces have a different origin. The guided tour helps to recognize functions that may be unclear to someone who only sees the excavated rock.
Book in advance on the official website and check language, duration and mobility conditions. The entrance is outside Tarnowskie Góry’s central market, so final transport needs to be planned. Bring clothing suitable for the underground environment, even when traveling between June and August.
