The Underground Tourist Route of the St. John Mine in Krobica is based on a complex of historic mine workings, where mining was carried out in the period 1576- 1816.

The guide will lead you through the picturesque, fabulously colorful 18th century St. Leopold adit and the 16th century St. John mine. Along the route you will notice the preserved historical remains of the tin ore mining pits, traces of hand ore mining and museum exhibits, referring to the mining traditions of the Jizera Mountains and Foothills.

Through extraordinary stories and legends, passionate guides will make you feel the atmosphere of a medieval mine on your own skin, and the toil of the miners’ work is long in the memory.

Those feeling unsatisfied can also visit the Geopark, i.e. a nearly 8-kilometer-long above-ground hiking and educational trail “In the footsteps of ancient ore mining,” including a total of 9 mining sites and 3 lookout points, where persistent mineral seekers can find numerous garnets in schist or cassiterite.
