The building itself is generous and the tower invites... Come in and look! No exhausting climbing numbers of steps...you will get up comfortably by lift and see the whole region: the city, the mines and ironworks, the famous football stadium Bazaly as well as the beautiful Ostravice river, the Beskydy mountains and even Poland neighbours! To visit Ostrava means to see it first from this tower. In order to get the idea of the whole region and of the city!

We made a reservation by phone in advance. We took a bus, then take into consideration some upto 20 minutes of walk till you arrive at meeting place (behind Harenda Barborka). The guides both in the mine and at the museum are old miners, find of their job. And you feel it from their every word, their effort to explain, what, where, why. They make the tour most atractive and you are getting back with a lot of information. You will go through mine some 420 metres below and so you will get the very exact idea how difficult the miners' work was and still is. The museum shows the rescue facilities, the guide added a lot of stories. We recommend to visit this place and many many thanks to the excellent guides!
