Unique trivia
Mysteries, secrets and
underground anomalies
Every nook and cranny has its story. Check out what is hidden in the numbers, legends, and details that build the magic of Złoty Stok.
Impressive underground network of corridors and tunnels
More than 320 km of corridors, shafts, and walkways located on 21 levels, reaching 500 meters below the surface, have been excavated underground.
Today, only about 20 km are open for sightseeing, but the available tourist route is only 1–1.5 km long.
Ochra Adit – a colorful mystery
Its corridor is about 130 meters long and delights with the natural color of orange-yellow ochre — a pigment valued for centuries, also in painting and cosmetics
You will find fragments of original wooden drainage pipes from several centuries ago and a flooded shaft with a unique casing
Underground waterfall and the "Gacek" orange train
It is located in the Black Adit — this is the only underground waterfall in Poland, reaching 8 meters in height.
Right after seeing it, tourists board the narrow-gauge railway, the so-called "Orange Tram", which takes them outside — the route is about 300 meters long.
Bats – natural inhabitants of the mine
About 8 species live underground, totaling up to 150 individuals. Meeting them is a fascinating element of the tour
Our Gold mascot is precisely the "Gacek" orange bat, which you can meet in various places around the mine.
Not entirely discovered gold
Although Złoty Stok was exploited for over 700 years, the deposit has not been fully explored — science is still discovering new forms of gold, including native gold, e.g., in the mineral arsenopyrite
