The mine was carved out in the devil's rock under the mountain of St. Mikołaj, it took place around 1660. An interesting and unexplained fact is the backfilling of the mine made by the German army during World War II. Explorers are trying to discover possible treasures hidden under buried pavements. In 1997, a covered shaft was discovered, from which many unexplored branches come out, called the "Charles Shaft" (27 meters long). The length of the route made available to tourists is about 100 m. Numerous side corridors and a ventilation shaft, in which bats live, leave the main pavement. Next to the mine, there is a roofed room with benches, a table, a stone barbecue, a large children's playground with a slide and swings complex. Under the mine there is a stone basin in which recreational gold can be washed. According to the application, the mine may have a connection to the basement of the church of St. Mikołaj, to which the entrance has not yet been found, and also has a system of entrances in the center of Złotoryja connecting to the mine. Some of them have already been discovered. In addition to all these puzzles, the mine is shrouded in a legend about a monk who was murdered by miners in its depths and has since roamed the mine loudly wailing. Established in 1992, the Gold Diggers Brotherhood organizes annual Gold Panning Championships here at the end of May. You can take "treasures" with you.
