Czech Museum of Silver

At the last minute I decided to do the Silver Mine tour based on the reviews I read.

As they warn, if you are very pregnant, claustrophobic, a very large individual, etc. You want to skip the mines and just go to the museum.

The mines have areas that are as narrow as 40cm and as low as ~157cm. If my memory is correct. Even below average sized individuals are going to have to stoop over in some areas and turn sideways in others.

Before going into the mines. They provide you a hardhat and for very good reason. You will hit your head in the mine. No problem with the hardhat. If you look at the top you will notice how rough it has become.

One thing that was not made clear on the website concerning pricing. There is an upcharge for everything. Want the English tour? That will be an extra 20czk (or was it 40?). Want to take pictures? That will be an extra 50czk.

The mine itself was interesting. You got to see and learn about the conditions the miners worked in. You can still see tool marks on the walls. You learned about what the town was really like back when the mine operational vs what it is like now.

I would put the tour on my list of things to do during your trip.
