Ŝtupoj de teruro

The wooden staircase contains 270 steps ascending at a gradient of 50 percent, connecting the Svornost mine shaft to the upper hillside location.

During the 1950s, political prisoners were forced to climb these stairs daily while working in uranium mines under the communist regime in Czechoslovakia.

The current replica staircase forms part of an educational trail that documents the experiences of laborers who endured harsh conditions in the mining complex.

Visitors can access detailed information about the mining heritage through educational panels installed along the path leading to the reconstructed stairs.

The elevation change and steep incline of these steps, ranging between 25 to 28 degrees, exemplified the physical demands placed upon mine workers.
