In 2014 the Main Key Hereditary Adit, a part of the Queen Louise
Adit complex, became one of the most interesting attractions of
Zabrze city.The Main Key Hereditary Adit offers the complex of
various tourist routes based on 4km of excavations.
Tourists start their incredible journey from the Carnall shaft where,
greeted by a mining guide, will descent into the undergrounds in a
panoramic lift. A simulated pit cage crash will have a chilling effect
on the visitors, being the announcement of an unforgettable journey
into the depths of the Earth and the history of mining.
After reaching the adit level, tourists start the tour by overcoming the
550m long tunnel with the use of battery-powered boats, passing
three-dimensional productions, listening to the sounds of mining
machines and pickaxes, reverberating through the galleries. A great
experience is the visit to the cargo port, where coal would be loaded
on boats with the use of a special, timber crane.
Once having reached the end of the adit, tourist walk into the basic
drift in the No. 510 coal seam. The history of this workings dates
back to 1820, thus it is considered the oldest preserved tunnel cut in
coal. The exploration, carried out by the specialists from the Central
Mines Rescue Station, revealed that this 19th century excavation has
been well preserved along the entire, 200m long sector: from the
Main Key Hereditary Adit to the pit-bottom of the Wyzwolenie shaft.
Exposition of the former ways of coal-extraction, with the use of a
shortwall method, is presented here.
