Anna mine, Historical mine in Příbram, Czech Republic.
The Anna Mine is a preserved mining site with underground shafts, tunnels, and original machinery that date back several centuries. The grounds include a museum building and walkable routes that reveal the layout and operations of metal extraction.
Silver mining began here during the medieval period and made Příbram a center of metal production for centuries. The site was modernized in the 1800s when steam-powered equipment replaced older extraction methods.
The mine displays working conditions and daily life of miners from its operational years. You can see tools and equipment that show how people extracted metal from the earth over centuries.
Entry to underground sections requires a guided tour for safety reasons and to protect the historic structures. Sturdy shoes and a light jacket are recommended, as the tunnels stay cool and damp year-round.
A notable feature is a 51-meter slide built through part of the historic shafts that offers an unusual way to descend. This combines the educational experience with a touch of play that surprises many visitors.
