When after a few nasty, rainy days, the sun finally showed, so I began to be nervous at home. And my wife after lunch telling me, "finally, get out somewhere"
It was already quite late, so I said to go and see it closed adits of ore mines.
I left the car at the parking of golf club. I chose walk at the trail above "Pinelová" hospital.
Not coincidentally, because I wanted to look at small adit in slope. As a boy I seen them here about five little adits.
I look over the fence into the area "Pinelová" hospital, where the 20 vehicles of ambulance 112. I think there are base. But because of this I'm not here. Then I noticed how above the path stands a something small from bricks, which has a hole in the side.

I looked at it closer and it was a ventilation chimney to adit V-1117, apparently due to security chimney was walled.

At the bottom of chimney is visible an adit. According to the depth of the chimney, adit should have a adit collar at down the slope. It is already in the area Pinelovej hospital. I will not go there now.
I will leave it, with that a little further are the next adits.
But I have not been here for about a million years, and was surprised how landscape has changed. I was looking for, and looking for, but adits, which I remembered in certain places I not found.
Compared to the past, the trail quite a bit narrower. Today, there are clear landslides on slopes. I do not have time here to examine further. Neither I primarily not wanted to explored this area, thus I and give up with the fact that here I would ever come back.
I strutted on the path, and at the end "Pinelová" hospital I found two adits.
From afar was visible the mouth of adit :
It's a short adit (10 m), who is frequently visited.

About ten meters below, is the mouth of another adit. Has not yet been completely backfilled, there remained a small hole.
View to adit V-1077 :
Inside I have not crawled, I did not want to waste time. I decided to explore these places in more detail later.

I came to the forest trail, after which there is a yellow touristic mark.
I followed the path to the gamekeeper's house. Just above the gamekeeper's house, I turned right to the "Budúcnosť" adit. At that point, I realized that I'm going on the "nature path of mining" but in the opposite direction. :-)
I do not understand, who get kicked out here old furniture. This will give anyone trouble, bring the furniture here? Whoever did this, should take this waste away, where it belongs. Either wait for the collection of such waste in the city, or to pay for landfill.
I thinking what next, and I decided, that I will go up to the top of "Žilová" hill, and from there i will go downwards.
From the "Budúcnosť" adit, I went to the former factory of company "Rudné bane" and from there to the panel road towards the backfilled quarry.
Panel journey has brought me to the old quarry. Hill "Žilová" was only a bit away, so I bypassed the quarry along the forest path.
I do not regret it, from hill "Žilová", opened me the beautiful views. Town Trnava I saw like at hand. I make a little bit pics and then I turned back to the old quarry.
Old quarry of company "Rudné bane" in which the surface-mined antimony with a scraper drill, is backfilled by construction rubbles. Also here are nice views:
From the quarry I went to visit area "Kolársky" hill, which should be antimony adit and adit New Alexander. Again, I go the on the education trail of mining.
After a while I see the information board, with name "antimony adit".
I immediately noticed the dilapidated mining house.
Slightly below the antimony adit should be a new Alexander adit. I searched the landscape for a long while, but the adit I not found.
Even in 1997 was looking as follows:
After a couple of years already it was only this:

Behind house is blocked estuary of antimony adit.

Near the adit I noticed stream of mine water, which flowed from somewhere from up. I went upstream, and after a few meters further blocked portal. About this adit, I had no idea. At home I'll have more explore what is it. But I think it's "Medzipatrová" adit.

Even in 1997 was looking as follows:

Both pictures I cheekily borrowed from mr Dusan Kušík http://permonik.host.sk/ms1a3a2.htm
Ever since 2003, the company METAL - ECO SERVICE, Ltd., began the disposal of these adits: New Alexander, "IV podetáž" and "Štefan Prekop".
After more than 10 years after the disposal, I not found this adit, even though I knew the approximate location.
The total length of the adit is 1080 meters. Because the tunnel later served as the drainage tunnel, flows out of him lot of mine water.

I told myself that I will go on to look at "Pyritová" adit. Again, I'm on the sidewalk of mining which decreases to the "Rudné bane" factory. Immediately above the factory's areal is portal of "Pyritová" adit.

"Pyritová" adit in addition to drainage served as a main transport route. Was linked to the antimony adit with chimney. Extracted ore was trucked away for processing into complex of "Rudné bane" with a mining train.
Even today can be seen the remains of the railways.

Later I went on the yellow tourist trail to end trip and go home. But i could make a small detour to adit "Sirková".

I deliberately he ignored bearing Emil - Ferdinand, because I decided that I view these old adits some other times, even with better exploration adits over "Pinelová" hospital.
And the light was somewhat low too at 19:00 :-)
I hope that next time it will be on all day. I would like to finally see "Podbabská" valley.
