Karkonoskie Tajemnice, Interactive museum in Karpacz, Poland

Karkonoskie Tajemnice is an interactive exhibition at Mickiewicza 1a in Karpacz, opened in 2011 and devoted to the Mountain Spirit and Karkonosze legends. Its displays include a replica of the Mountain Spirit's staff, a mountain hut laboratory, a mandrake, a skeleton of a rzepiór and a Walloon adit, with multimedia screens for interactive games. Part of the exhibition is in the basement and uses light and sound effects.

The exhibition opened to the public in 2011, the year a wooden staff over 2 m long, tipped with a 19 cm mountain crystal, was dug up on 26 March during building work in Karpacz. The find, called the Mountain Spirit's staff, sparked local interest and gave the site its theme. Experts date the object to roughly 100–200 years old; it is now held by the Karkonosze Museum in Jelenia Góra.

The exhibition takes its name from the Karkonosze Secrets social movement of Karpacz and Karkonosze enthusiasts founded by Jakub Paczyński, the exhibition's initiator. Its displays centre on the Mountain Spirit, also called Rübezahl or Liczyrzepa, and on legends of mountain smelters, the laborant's hut and the mandrake. Workshops for children, "Discoverer of Karkonosze Secrets", teach ethnographic knowledge of these beliefs alongside geography and geology.

The exhibition is at Mickiewicza 1a in Karpacz, in a building with a tall rough grey stone tower and a dark glass wall; the entrance is by the stone steps beside the rust-brown winged figure sculpture and the "KARKONOSKIE TAJEMNICE" sign. Part of the route runs through the basement, where light and sound effects are used, so allow time to move between the ground-floor and underground sections.

The building stands where a wooden staff was dug up on 26 March 2011 during construction work; the find was linked to the mountain spirit and drew wide local interest. The original, over 2 m long and topped with a 19 cm rock crystal, is kept at the Karkonosze Museum in Jelenia Góra, while a replica is shown here.
