This mining nature trail will introduce you to the mining history of Špania Dolina and bring you to the hidden spots in the surrounding forests where its history was written; the trail starts near Klopačka (Knocking Tower) and will first take you uphill around shafts and adits to the top of the Maximilián slag heap with a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. It will take you approximately two and a half hours to finish this trail with ten stops; however, the total elevation gain is only 70 m, making it less demanding and suitable for families with children.
