The Open – Air Mining Museum Banska Stiavnica

was opened to the public in 1974 on original mining parts of the pit Ondrej from the 16th century and the gallery Bartolomej from the 16th and 17th century. It is two kilometers from Banská Štiavnica along the road to the Štiavnica mines, below the lake Klinger. It is made up of a surface and an underground exhibition. On the surface are original mining buildings and machinery, e.g. a unique water-column hauling engine engine from 1881, a head-frame Žofia, etc. The underground exhibition comprises two depth horizons in the Ondrej pit (the Bartolomej and the Ján horizons) 33 m and 45 m deep respectively. The length of the underground track measures some 1300 m. Samples of mining workspaces, equipment and methods of extraction from the 16th century down to the present times are installed in a typical mining environment.
