About

Brown Coal Mining Village is a thematic village based on the remainings of the only underground brown coal mines existing in the north of Poland in the period of 1850-1939. The Village shows brown coal mining history, methods of brown coal (lignite) extraction, 19th and early 20th century games and traditions, birds, animals and plants of Tuchola Forests region. We offer nature and historic trails, audioguides in Polish, English and German, local traditional food, traditional games, goats and hens. Moreover, if you are interested, you may take part in a traditional Boroviac-Silesian Wedding Party - music, dance, local food and great fun. For more information visit our website or Facebook profile. NOTE: currently there is no possibility of underground visits due to the destruction of the underground parts of the mines. You can only visit a part of one of the slope mines entrance with our guide. The Village is open to individual tourists in July and August, Tue-Sun 12.00-17:00.
