Great place. A lot of fun for children and adults, especially the underground route through the old mines. All interestingly done. Completely renovated. Large, modern complex. A mandatory point on the map of the trip. We liked it very much, of course, the most mines. The child very satisfied. Sightseeing time of the whole about 1h. In the mines briefly about 15 minutes. Can easily walk the route with a small child in a carrier despite the stairs. The temperature in the mines is about 9 degrees Celsius, so take a coat. Also beware of mosquitoes! The tour is guided. There is a bar on site. It is worth stopping by the parking lot at the bird pictures, as you approach they make sounds - an interesting attraction.
22.08.2013Cool place! Unique mines, it's worth walking through the underground passages and see how people used to work.... It is rumored that in the future they are going to open a route of extremeally, where conditions will be similar to those in the mine (i.e., low ceiling, etc.).
11.05.2011The cave does a great job of showing how people once searched for flint and crawled underground to find it. You can also walk through a Neolithic village. I recommend this mlocation
07.08.2010I've visited various mines, but this one is special because it was exploited so long ago. Neolithic village equally interesting, for organized groups. For children, the guidesZone are a kind of activities, as in green school. Around the village in the grass I found a lot of mushrooms. I didn't have a basket, so I just took pictures of them.
29.03.2010The complex of prehistoric mines in Krzemionki, near Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski (Swietokrzyskie Mountains) is one of the largest sites of its kind in Europe. Its uniqueThe significance stems from the perfectly preserved "naked mine" landscape and underground architecture. The mines were discovered in 1922 by geologist Jan Samsonowicz and have been studied by many archaeologists. The mines date back to the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (ca. 3900-1600 B.C.), however, most of the shafts found in Silica were created by miners between 2900-2500 B.C. The axes they produced from flint were very popular and were distributed within a radius of up to 660 km from the mines. The mining field in Krzemionki is located in the area of outcrops of Jurassic, Upper Oxfordian limestone and covers the edge of the syncline that exists here. It has the shape of a parabola with a length of 4.5 km and a width of 20-200 m, i.e. approx. 78.5 hectares. The number of mines is calculated at more than 4,000, and their depth ranges from 2 to 9 m. The mines in Krzemionki are an excellent prehistoric example of the development of technical thought. The magnificently preserved architecture of the underground, arouses widespread admiration and respect. By order of President of the Republic of Poland L. Walesa on September 8, 1994, Krzemionki was declared a Monument of History. A year later, the area was declared a nature reserve. Preparations are underway to inscribe Krzemionki on the UNESCO World Heritage List. A 1991 reconstruction of a Neolithic village is another attraction when visiting the Reserve. It covers an area of about 1.5 hectares. Although it is not a faithful reproduction of any known archaeological site, when viewing it one can imagine how Stone Age and early Bronze Age people organized the space they inhabited.
