Štola v Zoo, Mining adit in Prague Zoo, Czech Republic
The adit extends beneath natural rock formations within Prague Zoo grounds, featuring passages that reflect 19th century mining engineering techniques.
During World War II, the underground tunnel system served as an air raid shelter for zoo employees and their families seeking protection from bombings.
The adit demonstrates the industrial heritage of Prague, highlighting mineral extraction methods and the production of sulfuric acid in the 1800s.
Visitors can explore the mining tunnel as part of their Prague Zoo experience, with informative displays explaining its wartime and geological significance.
Mineralogists discovered rare minerals including epsomite and strypticit in the tunnel walls, contributing to Czech Republic's geological research in 1880.
