This coal mine dates from the 19th and 20th centuries and was the training level for a former Mining School. There is a permanent exhibition showing shoring techniques and equipment used over the centuries. Nearby are 19th century shale roasting furnaces. Text by Tony Oldham (2002). With kind permission. |
The city of Nowa Ruda has a long mining history. During the Middle Ages rich iron ore deposits were mined. Later the coal seams became importand and were mined until 2000. And there is a gabbro mine in the borough of Slupiec.
