Take a peek into the mysterious underground labyrinth that was created in the vicinity of the Golden Mountains for centuries during the mining of precious metals.

The first mention of the Post Office Hut dates back to 1513. The greatest development of mining activity at this site was achieved in the second half of the 17th century, when chalky copper ores and later pyrite were mined here. Parts of the hand-cut tunnels and chimneys from the earliest periods are well preserved in the various levels of the mine, as well as the original water extraction equipment made of wood. The most striking feature in the underground, however, is the blue 'allophane' decoration.

The Postal Adit is located about 6 km south of the town of Zlaté Hory, near the underground Speleotherapy area. Those interested in touring the Postal Gully must be present at the ticket office at least 15 minutes before the tour. The minimum number of visitors is 5, the maximum 25 people. One tour lasts 1.5 hours. Warm clothing and suitable footwear are recommended (underground temperature between 7-8 °C).

The tour must be booked by calling 420 588 884 610 (Post Office ticket office) or by e-mail: postovnistola@krajpokladu.cza at the Municipal Information Centre in Zlaté Hory by calling 420 584 425 397 or by e-mail: mic@zlatehory.cz
