Right in the town centre you can explore one of the oldest adits in the region.
Generations of miners cut it by hand, and it was used to drain the mine shafts. In 1751 it was visited by Emperor Francis I (Francis Stephen of Lorraine), which is why the so-called Emperor’s Steps were built in the adit. The underground exhibition is open to children aged 6 and over, and a visit takes about 45 minutes. You can find out the entry times at the Tourist Information Centre on Holy Trinity Square and on the Slovak Mining Museum website.
