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!

A really unexpected gem and a must visit that is unique. Our fantastic guide Pawel (Paul) brought the past to life in perfect English. This was so important as I have very limited Polish. He is a true ambassador of the region and the proud history of mining. We were lucky enough to have a Pawel as our private guide for the two of us through both the Black Trout Adit and the Silver mine. You need a reasonable fitness level to cope with the stairs and the stooping walk required in some areas of the mine particularly. This experience does help you imagine the working conditions.
