Friedrich Mine Deep Adit, Mining adit in Tarnowskie Góry, Poland.
The Friedrich Mine Deep Adit extends through underground passages, connecting multiple shafts of the historical lead-silver-zinc mining complex in Tarnowskie Góry.
The mine gained prominence in 1787 when rich galena ore deposits were discovered, leading to the establishment of Friedrichsgrube State Mine by Friedrich Wilhelm von Reden.
The underground network represents industrial engineering achievements of Upper Silesia, demonstrating advanced mining techniques and water management systems from the 18th century.
Visitors can explore a 600-meter section of the Friedrich adit, known as the Black Trout Adit, which opened for public tours in 1957.
The empty chambers and galleries of the mine now serve as one of Poland's largest bat hibernation locations, supporting research on cave fauna ecosystems.
