Złoty Stok, Mining town in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

The town stretches across a valley at 348 meters elevation, near the Czech Republic border, surrounded by the Rychleby Mountains.

The settlement obtained town rights during medieval times and developed into a major gold mining center with 150 active mines by the 16th century.

The Gertrude Adit, stretching 500 meters underground, contains geological maps, mining tools, and mineral collections from different parts of the world.

The Underground Tourist Route offers guided tours through two main tunnels, including access to Poland's only subterranean waterfall measuring 8 meters high.

Over seven centuries of mining operations in Złoty Stok yielded approximately 16 tonnes of pure gold before the mines closed in 1962.
