About Stara Kopalnia
Stara Kopalnia occupies the facilities of a former coal mine in Wałbrzych. Towers, technical buildings and exhibition spaces allow visitors to observe the scale of the industrial activity and the transformation of a workplace into a cultural and interpretation center.
The route presents equipment and environments related to mining, without equating to an extraction operation in working order. The visit helps distinguish functions that are not clear in an external photograph, such as circulation, support and material handling within the complex.
Check the visit modality and language before arrival. The spaces may include stairs and transfers between buildings, so the circuit requires more than a pass through the yard. Combine it with Książ on separate days if you want to see both complexes without cutting short the interiors.
