Štola Starý Martin, Medieval tin mine in Krupka, Czech Republic
Štola Starý Martin features underground tunnels and passages that extend through a tin vein stretching two kilometers beneath the Ore Mountains.
The mine originated in the 13th century during the medieval mining boom, when Krupka became the first tin mining district in the Ore Mountains.
This protected monument represents the development of mining techniques and geological knowledge that influenced both Czech and German mining operations.
The mining site includes educational exhibits, guided tours through accessible tunnels, and displays of historical mining equipment and mineral specimens.
The mine contains the longest tin vein in Central Europe, with extensive underground networks revealing centuries of extraction methods and technological progress.
