Zabrze Each year tens of thousands of tourists arrive. Created jobs for dozens of former miners, and the city will become a European center of tourism industry. You just need to renew the mining adit extending beneath the city.
Tourists go inside the tunnel and go into the tunnel. Board the wagons of mining cable. Theirs will be a quarter of an hour driving into the ground. First stop is underground port. Here, once transhipped coal from wagons to boats. Next they go on foot. View on corridors and mining machinery. At the forefront of everyone can pick on to forge a piece of coal as a souvenir. Again, go to the next port, this time here are: a big crane, trackway and true underground stables. Tourists get into the boat and swim tunnel. The penultimate point of the program is a ride up the mining lift. After waiting for their viewing only preserved in Europe, lifting machines.
- It is to be the only such museum in the world. Tourists will have an impression that is not enough that they are in a real mine, the additive is back in time. Under the ground will work, people in period costumes. We will not only have real horses that ciągnęłyby wagons with coal - said Gustav Jurkiewicz, chief operating 10 years of mining museum. Even today you can visit the underground museum and see how it works hoist machine, so that the distance between the individual attractions must overcome the surface. - The tunnel will travel under the earth - the following Jurkiewicz.
first tourists will come to an old tunnel in a few years. At her restaurant is a need zł 50 million, and these projects will cost about one million. However, are ready architectural foundation.
Officials and members of Pro Futuro Foundation, which supports the restoration of the old tunnel, went into the ground and marched nearly 1.5 km.
- Adit is in better condition than some of the Zabrze houses - says Tomasz Bugaj from foundations. Inside, you can breathe, the air was tested every few meters. And most important - during the four-hour expedition, researchers met for only one rat in the mud, which filled the bed of the tunnel, they found plenty of earthworms. - This means that rodent control is not needed, and the water is clean. Instead, we must adapt the adit to the European safety requirements - Bugaj said.
- just send another request for a grant. The investment we begin the second day of membership Polish EU. Then the money will be even easier - says Arthur Wiercioch of Zabrze City Hall. In developing adaptation work will be the former miners. They also will be later tourists round.
History Adit
Key Sough combined two mines owned by the Prussian King in the King and Queen Louise Steelworks at Zabrze. It has a length of 14 km. The Royal Huta tunnel was used to dewater the mine. The direction of Gliwice Zabrze in her boat and sailed with coal, which transferred from the cars in three specific ports. Adit ended with a special outlet at the present intersection of ul. Charles Miarka and the Jagiellonian. Further boats were on the surface of the river Bytomką. The first boat sailed from the drifts of coal in 1806, the last - in 1840, when Upper Silesia was cut rail and road conditions improved so that coal could be transported in a conventional manner.
biggest attraction of the Ruhr area are the ruins of castles or baroque palaces. Quite the contrary. Germany invites tourists to buildings that are not even a hundred years, but they can watch them only on the Ruhr and Emschą.
Certainly, many of them would long since demolished, were it not for the IBA Emscher Park, an organization for the reconstruction of the landscape of the Basin, which opposes the destruction of industrial architecture.
In the old coke oven gas tank in Oberhausen (to remain unaware - a big, steel cylinder) organizes exhibitions of modern art. A similar fate befell the halls of the old coking plant in Essen. Around the shaft of the old towers built parks, and old mine buildings, working artists and architects (as for example in Gelsenkirchen). A big attraction is the old mill Meiderich in Duisburg. On the stage next to the blast furnace concerts are held in steel tanks, divers learn to dive, and the concrete wall climbing enthusiasts occupied. The largest gem Basin, however, is mine Zollverein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The mine operates throughout the country known in the mining museum, and przykopalniane buildings turned into office buildings. In one of the old halls Casino Zollverein runs, the most expensive restaurant in Essen, where the smells ... grease.

Several years ago I was in the museum Louise in Zabrze. I was impressed and very pleased that museum extends its offer. This is a step in the right direction, but to be successful, you need to do next. In Silesia, should build a network of tourist attractions. After all, every town has its former industrial center. Nobody in Brussels would not treat you seriously, if you be performing with one idea. For one mine, even the most interesting, not downloading a lot of tourists. You have to act with greater momentum. Then we will succeed.
