  Na prehliadku sa treba vopred objednať. Býva to často obsadené. Je tam chladno treba mať aj pohodlnú špotovú obuv. Ide sa po kovovom rošte. Štôlňa je úzka a vysoká cca 165 cm. Je tam vhlko a úplná tma...  more »

  The tour must be pre-ordered. It tends to be busy often. There is a cool need for a comfortable shoe. It is a metal grate. The Štôlňa is narrow and high approx. 165 cm. There is a Vhlko and complete darkness. You get a flashlight, a helmet and a mantle. This is not suitable for people with limited mobility schemes. The guide will explain everything you ask. It is very willing. It was a very interesting show.
