Ruins of Rolava Tin Mine and Prisoner-of-War Camp

Tin wash Sauersack

In 1939 the "Zinnbergbau Sudetenland GmbH" was founded. With the help of prisoners of war, the facility did not go into operation until 1943. The total length of the route network is estimated at approx. 14 km. On May 23, 1945 the mine building was handed over to the state mining company Rudné doly Príbram.
The geologist Franticek Kratochvil took stock of the situation in 1946 and decided to flood the pit. For a long time there was a rumor among the population that the slave laborers had been left behind in the mine.

Adventure for young and old, but you should be careful where you go, there are extinguishers where you can plunge 1 to 2 meters. Especially when the grass is a little higher you can see that badly. But is worth a visit 👍

The mine was founded in 1939 during the war under the name “Zinnbergwerk Sudentenland GmbH” and finally went into operation in 1943 with the help of several hundred prisoners of war. The ruins that remain today belong to shaft 1. However, the facility only remained in operation for three years until it was closed and flooded after an inventory by a geologist - at the same time that the Sudeten Germans were expelled from their homeland. In contrast to the many residential buildings that were demolished in this area at the time, the tin mine buildings were left to their own devices. Today, mosses, grasses and even trees have taken over the ruins and transform them into an atmospheric backdrop just waiting to be discovered. to be discovered for a horror film.
