My husband and I visited this UNESCO site on our trip to Poland during our stay in Tarnowskie Gory. This Lead-Silver-Zinc Mine and its Underground Water Management System was inscribed to the World Heritage List in 2017. We didn't know what to expect as we've never visited a mine before. The tours are in groups, ours was a group of at least 20, maybe more. The tour lasted 90 min. I believe. Our tour guide spoke English and in addition we were given plenty of literature in English to fully understand what we were seeing. We all had to wear long raincoats and hard hats. The Tour started in the museum where we learned the history of the mine and the area. Then we took the elevator to go underground to visit the corridors from the 18th and 19th centuries. The tour covered over a mile of the corridors. We crossed part of the route in boats as it was through a flooded corridor. We toured adits, shafts, galleries and other features of the water management system. The images we experienced from the extensive labyrinth of corridors was priceless. This was such a unique visit we thoroughly enjoyed... we highly recommend!

We enjoyed our visit here very much. Very interesting to go through all the shafts and pits, good video flicks and nice displayed items. You can even see mining machinery in operation. The only negative thing the dirty helmets. They should really replace and clean those headbands. The visit is around 3 hours long, so for your visit you prepare with: flat bladder:), comfy shoes which may get dusty, some drinks in hand if you need, photo device with full battery, warm clothing, money/card for the pub. Bags, cases are not recommended to carry, same goes with hats or anything on your head, because of the mandatory helmets. Don't expect any mobile signal.:) Enjoy.
