In the past, almost every burgher house in Štiavnica had its own adit.
Just 75 metres long, the Michal Adit in the Berggericht is the shortest adit open to the public in the region. The easy tour is suitable for all generations. The visit takes only a few minutes, so we recommend combining it with the mineral exhibition in the same building.
Interestingly, not far from here, in Hodruša-Hámre, is the last gold mine still in operation, the Rozália mine. Each tonne of rock mined yields about 10 grams of gold. The mine is not open to the public because it is still working.
Following the devastating fire in Banská Štiavnica, the Michal Adit is closed until further notice. Thank you all for your help and solidarity in these difficult times. You can support us through the public fundraiser at: www.donio.sk
