Most of the mine preserved its original appearance from 18th and 19th century. Then visit to Zabrze – coal mine “Guido”, one of the most popular tourist attractions. The “Railway” shaft (diameter of 4m) is equipped with a “Berlin” hoisting machine from 1927, which transports visitors to the levels 170m and 320m below the ground level.
