Słupiec

Słupiec is an urban district in Nowa Ruda, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, combining residential blocks, industrial sites, and former mining structures in one developed area. The neighborhood reflects multiple periods of urban growth with varied architecture and facilities.

The area emerged in the 14th century and expanded through coal mining and textile manufacturing, which shaped its long-term development. These industries left lasting marks on the district's layout and character.

The district carries visible traces of its mining past through structures and monuments woven into everyday life and local spaces. These remnants shape how people experience and understand the area's industrial roots today.

A former mine shaft has been converted into an indoor climbing facility available throughout the year for recreational climbing. The space serves visitors of different experience levels with varied climbing routes in its underground setting.

The former Szyb Nowy I mine shaft allows climbers to train within actual underground mining chambers and passages. Visitors experience the depth and scale of real mining infrastructure while pursuing their sport.
