Sztolnie Kowary, Underground uranium mine museum in Kowary, Poland.

The Kowary mine tunnels extend for 1200 meters through underground chambers, displaying mining equipment and mineral specimens from different extraction periods.

From 1945 to 1973, this mine supplied uranium ore to the Soviet Union before transforming into an educational facility for the Wrocław University of Technology.

The mine preserves geological exhibits and mining artifacts that demonstrate the industrial development of Lower Silesia through several centuries.

Visitors can access the mine through guided tours lasting 60 minutes, with safety monitored by 13 dosimetric points installed throughout the route.

The underground complex contains both the Podgórze Mine and Liczyrzepa Mine, offering the opportunity to dive in Poland's deepest mining shaft.
