Returning to the route: a 500-meter section of Gertruda Adit has been made available for sightseeing. In this part you can see: - a rich exhibition of maps and plans of the mine from the period from the 18th to the 20th century (including the mysterious map of the Black Adit), - old mining and metallurgical tools, minerals, exhibition of mining lamps, - a muffle furnace, a laboratory furnace , in which gold was smelted, - an eighteenth-century cart for transporting ore. In the side sidewalks, formerly used as explosives, a laboratory was created for J. Schärfenberg, a man who in pursuit of longevity potion obtained from arsenic ore a powerful poison arsenic. Legend has it that Napoleon himself was poisoned with arsenic from Zloty Stok. The treasury that is open to the public enjoys a great attraction. It is here that you can see 1066 "gold" bars corresponding to 16 tonnes of gold obtained during the entire working time of the mine, ie for about 1000 years.
