Unearth humanity’s ancient ingenuity at the Krzemionki Prehistoric Flint Mines, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (2019).
Dating from the Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (4th–2nd millennium BC), this vast complex of over 4,000 mining shafts and 100 km of tunnels represents one of the world’s most extensive and best-preserved examples of prehistoric mining. Discovered in 1922, Krzemionki offers an unparalleled glimpse into the technology, economy, and organization of early mining societies.
