Open-cast amber mine

Open-cast amber mine

Every visitor to our region would like to trace the amber road of the sun stone from the mine to a piece of jewellery. The view point of the unique landscape at the world’s unique seaside amber mine provides a beautiful panoramic view and presents a 50-m amber quarry with its commercial production. You may like to play the role of an amber fisher there. At the view point, in the ‘mini quarry’ visitors can mine amber; those lucky people, who have been able to find many drops of the valuable resin, will be awarded an ‘Amber Miner’ diploma. Anyone may try armour of a medieval knight, demonstrate his/her tournaments and make photo as a souvenir. At the view point, there is the Amber Pyramid, 800 kg of sun stone, which has worked wonders and delighted people since ancient times. When guests come there, they have the opportunity to get a chance to get a brand new amber product, commemorative souvenirs and a lot of positive impressions. The demonstration hall of the Amber Mine offers some unique pieces of sun stone, decorations and pieces of art made by stonecutters of the amber manufactory. They will tell you about the history of using amber by man since the ancient times until now, the commercial production and all professional secrets relating to amber use.
