The Queen Louise Adit in Zabrze is an absolutely unique facility, built on the basis of one of the oldest hard coal mines in Upper Silesia. It includes spaces both on the surface and a real network of underground corridors running practically under the very center of the city.

Underground tourist routes are the greatest treasure of the Adit. It is a real journey through time

and space. Due to the richness and diversity of mining pits, and thus depending on the selected variant, a tourist may:

- meet the inhabitants of the underground, they are said to be quite friendly, but those who do not check by themselves will not find out,

- visit the largest underground park of large-scale mining machines in Europe, they still work and can make a lot of noise!

- go on a journey with the Karlik mining railway,

- traverse a coal seam with a thickness of more than 6 meters,

and also have a unique opportunity to take advantage of a one-of-a-kind attractions - underground rafting, the longest section of the adit in Europe, waiting on the Underground Water Route.

One of the most recognizable buildings in the above-ground part of the complex is the building of the former Łaźnia Lancuszkowa. In the Carnall area there are also other historic buildings of the former Queen Louise mine. From September 2020, one of them has a real gem of technology - an active, historic steam engine from 1915. It is one of the few in the world still operating under steam.

The adit is open to visitors. A big attraction is the underground boat trip. It is worth combining the visit with the nearby "Guido" mine.
