Within the mining tourism, there are worldwide known and mass-visited mining objects in many countries. However, mass mining tourism can also be realized in locations that, (1) recently, are less known and/or less accessible to general public, or (2) include mine remnants accessible only at short distances or without underground access possibility, due to the protection of specific animal species. This article is focused on the mass tourism in such types of mines and mining areas. Keywords: geo and mining heritage, mining tourism, historical area, mass tourism Pavol Rybár is a full professor at Technical University Kosice, Slovakia.

  • DRAFT 8/8/2013 Updates at Chapter 59 -- Three Tales of Two St
    Chapter 59 -- Three Tales of Two St. Pauls Chute's Cave Let us briefly move to St. Paul's Minnesota's neighbor, Minneapolis. When S.H. Chute excavated a 2.5-meter tunnel to provide water to his Phoenix Four Mill in 1864, the project encountered a cave and was abandoned. A bulkhead built during 1875 excavation for a tailrace, however, made the suitable for sub-urban excursions. From the Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, August 26 of the following year, Chute's Cave -- A Boat Ride of 2,000 Feet Under Main Street. The mouth of the "Chute's Cave" is just below the springs, and the bottom of this cave is covered with about eighteen inches of water. For the moderate sum of ten cents you can take a seat in a boat with a flaming torch at the bow, and with a trusty pilot sail up under Main street a distance of about 2,000 feet, between pure white sandstone, and under a limestone arch which forms the roof. It is an inexpensive and decidedly interesting trip to take. Stereopticon view showing a flat- bottomed boat and pole. Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, December 1, 1889, But a few years ago not a day passed that did not bring in visitors. A stream of water ran the whole length of the cave, and for the small consideration of a dime, a grim, Charon-like individual would undertake to convey, in a rude sort of a boat, all visitors, who were inclined, for the distance of a quarter or a mile or thereabouts into the gloomy passage.

This paper examines three cases of salt mining in different European countries, namely Wieliczka in Poland, Campina de Cima in Portugal, and Turda in Romania. They are analyzed in the context of history, typical attributes of their attractiveness, and new uses after the salt extraction was or is going to be stopped, in order to detect their unique values as important assets for both Underground Built Heritage (UBH) and Salt Heritage Tourism (SHT). The results of their comparison show that despite a positive impact related to their protection as cultural and industrial heritage, there are also some negative aspects related to increasing costs Citation: Kimic, K.; Smaniotto Costa, C.; Negulescu, M.

  • Cluj-Napoca - “European City of Sport 2018”
    Cluj-Napoca - “European City of Sport 2018” In 2017, our city was awarded the title of “European City of Sport 2018”. The title is awarded by the European Capitals and Cities of Sport Federation, a non-profit organization recognized in the European Commission’s White Paper, which aims to internationally acknowl- edge communities that value sport and create contexts favourable to its development for its inhabitants. Some of the Cluj-Napoca assets are: 25 sports facilities, over 100 active sports associations, five important sports clubs, teams in national leagues, a paralympic association (Lamont Center), 38 professional or semi-professional sports played in the city. Sports facilities include: Gheorgheni Sports Complex, Multi-Purpose Hall, Cluj Arena, “Simion Bărnuţiu” Central Park, “Iuliu Haţieganu” Sports Park and CFR Cluj Stadium. Access to sports facilities for individuals, free of charge or at afforda- ble prices, such as the Gheorgheni Sportive Training Camp or “Iuliu Haţieganu” Park - which are free of charge for students and at low fees for the rest of the population, are all aspects that contributed to the awarding of the title. El alcalde del municipio de Cluj-Napoca Sports volunteering is another important aspect, with every major event benefiting from numerous volunteer teams who have con- tributed to the smooth running of their activities, which in time lead to educating a generation for the respect and commitment to movement and sports. The institutional partners who supported the candidacy are the Romanian Football, Basketball, Handball, Tennis and Gymnastics Federations. The benefits of obtaining the title of “European City of Sport” are the opportunity to capitalize on all the investments over the recent years, increasing the number of inhabitants involved in sports activities for improving the quality of life, socialising or performance.
