    I am sure the place is worth visiting. Unfortunately, today 11th February at 01:00 pm the door was closed despite of the fact that the info on the Internet was that it is open till 03:00 pm. There are also the same hours at the entrance. But the door was locked. No note, no info....anything. We travelled to this place especially to show it to my nephew. Very disappointed and disrespectful for visitors.

    It was interesting to visit this mine, but the audio guide in English was not loud enough. The written guide in English was informative but stapled out of sequence and was a part of two written guides. You can't go underground, but much of it is preserved as it was the day it closed, giving an idea of what the miners did daily. The large steam engine was operated on compressed air at the end of the tour, giving a good idea of how noisy it would have been when operating on steam. The tours start every 2 hours when open.

    Cool place to learn something about the history of Ostrava and mining. Unfortunately the tour guide only spoke Czech. We did get an English audio tour and a document that seemed google-translated. But the English information was far less than the information the tourguide was telling. The whole tour took about 2 hours, but the audio tour maybe only one hour. So a lot of the time you're just standing around waiting for the tour guide to be done because you can't understand the language. So wouldn't recommend the tour, but the buildings and mining equipment are really cool to see!

    Interesting place to visit and learn more about the history of the mine and Ostrava. To gain access to the buildings and see more you have to do a guided tour. Unfortunately the guide was in the Czech language, which takes a bit away from the experience. The audio guide provides the same base info but I feel like the guide gives way more background info. It also feels like you're spending a long time per room, even though the audio tour in English sometimes only gives a few sentences of info. Hopefully in the future the country can slowly integrate a bit more of the English language to make it engaging for visitors from more countries. Nevertheless I was impressed by the scale of the complex and all the things to see. In the end they even fired up an old steam engine. If you want to go into a mine, that's not possible at this location, but then you should visit the Landek Park mine.

    Have been there for the 3rd time and learnt again a lot new. As the tours are ensured by former minors, each of them add from their own experience and it makes it so interesting.

  • 5/5 Radek M. 5 years ago on Google
    The Michal mine shows the daily life of a miner from arriving to work to entering a mine. Very interesting, as a matter of fact.

    The old guy working as a guide for the English tour was very prepared and a excellent person! Only love for Jiři!

  • 5/5 daniel r. 5 years ago on Google
    Well worth a visit. Very reasonably priced. Had a former miner as a guide. His English wasn't perfect but his passion and enthusiasm definitely made up for it. Very enjoyable.

    Time stopped here years ago and now visitors may see how life in mine looked like. Very interesting guide tours. Worth seeing!!
