The Friedrich Mine Washing Tip in Tarnowskie Góry, Mining heritage site in Tarnowskie Góry, Poland.
Description
The Friedrich Mine Washing Tip in Tarnowskie Góry is an artificial mound created from mining waste with steep sides and a flat top accessible to visitors. The structure contains deposited material from ore processing operations that took place over many decades.
History
This mound was created in the 1830s when the Friedrich Royal Mine built a processing facility to treat lead and zinc ore between two major shafts. The operation marked an important development in regional mining technology.
Culture
The mound reflects the industrial transformation that reshaped this region during its mining period. It now stands as a physical reminder of the economic life that once defined Tarnowskie Góry.
Practical
The flat summit can be reached by climbing the sloped sides and offers views of the surrounding town and historic structures from the top. The site is accessible year-round, though drier periods provide better ground conditions for walking.
Did you know?
The mound displays distinctive orange and red colors from the mixture of dolomite and iron ore fragments deposited there. These colors support the growth of rare plants adapted to survive in metal-rich soil.
