Sight-seeing miner’s pit Astoria Jáchymov

• Must be booked in advance!

Explore the unique underground mine of Jachymov without descending 500 m below the earth´s surface. It is a faithful copy of the real Svornost mine, including reinforcements, logs, boreholes, landslides, mining equipment, shaft lifts, uranium veins, radon water pipes and stalactites.

Entry is possible only with a helmet and smaller people can try crawling in the position in which miners excavated silver in the 16th century. The 1 hour-long visit consists of a guided tour and a movie performance taking you into the Svornost mine and explaining the secrets of the healing radon water source.
