The Uranium Mine – Underground Tourist Route in Kletno is located on the northern slope of Žmijowiec in the Śnieżnik Massif. The mine operated here in 1948-1953, using, among other things, several medieval adits where iron, silver and copper were mined in the past.

The length of the halls and corridors is about 5 km, and the depth is about 100 meters. Tourists are provided with two routes: a tourist one (about 360 meters long) and an extreme one, which requires specialized equipment, and sightseeing at times resembles the exploration of speleologists and cave explorers.

The Graceful Stone limestone kiln in Stara Morava is a monumental kiln built in 1850 to extract quicklime using a technique developed by American inventor Benjamin Rumford. In the 1970s, the ruined building was taken over by graphic artist Jacek M. Rybczynski and housed an art gallery. The last floor of the lime kiln is occupied by Horseshoe bats. They can be observed using night vision cameras. A Japanese garden with a wooden Torii gate has become an integral part of the Lime House.
