Graphite mine
A visit to Český Krumlov isn’t merely a tour of the castle!
How would you like to visit the real Český Krumlov underground, learn something about the town’s mining history, and get a closer idea about how mining works? Visit the graphite mine in Český Krumlov!
What’s in store? Before embarking on a tour of the mine itself, we’ll equip you with special clothing, including a miner's lamp. Then we’ll take you underground on a mining train, the same one that the miners took for their shift. We get off at the first station, from where we continue on foot. During the tour, you’ll see for yourself the conditions the miners worked in and what kind of machinery they used. You’ll also learn how mining was actually carried out, how graphite was processed, and what it was used for in production.
The tour is led by a guide..
