The Zloty Stok gold mine is located in the south west of Poland on the border with the Czech Republic and lies in the Sudetes mountain range, locally know as the Golden Mountains. Mining for gold on the site probably started around the 7th century, though the first documented evidence is from much later on, the 13th century. The mine is Poland's oldest gold mine and was not only worked for gold but arsenic as well which started in the 18th century.
Today you can take an underground trip and be enthralled by the underground waterfall which is 10 meters high. The only one in Poland and unique in all of Europe. We will take you to the mysterious Death Gallery, to the Museum of Minerals and the Mint. You can also walk along a 500m part of Gertruda Adit.
Keep your eyes open! There is still some gold in these mines.
