Tarnowskie Góry
"Tarnowskie Góry was a mining town already in the medieval times. For centuries, mining of silver and lead ores ensured prosperity of its residents. Mining ceased in the 20s of the last century. The Historic Silver Mine and the Open Air Museum of Steam Machines in Tarnowskie Góry invite to a nearly two-kilometer walk along the tourist underground route, as well as to the exhibition devoted to ore mining and the open-air museum with a collection of steam engines and locomotives - mostly from the early twentieth century."

Katowice
Siedziba Muzeum Śląskiego znajduje się na zrewitalizowanym poprzemysłowym terenie dawnej kopalni „Katowice”. Koncepcja architektoniczna nawiązuje do przemysłowej historii Śląska i pierwotnej funkcji terenu pokopalnianego. Zakłada niewielką ingerencję w poprzemysłowy krajobraz, dlatego większa część zaprojektowanego kompleksu znajduje się pod ziemią. Przeszklone bryły harmonizują z zespołem zabytkowych budynków, spośród których duża część została zbudowana jeszcze w XIX wieku.

Toszek
Originally, at the time of the Piast dynasty, the castle of Toszek was a wooden and earthen structure. We do not know its exact origins, but it probably dates back to the tenth or eleventh century. Duke Przemysław, who ruled here in the fifteenth century, built a brick building. Later, at the end of the sixteenth century, a Renaissance mansion erected here. The castle, which burned down in 1811, was partly rebuilt in the 60s of the last century. Today, the castle houses the cultural center named "Castle in Toszek".

Bytom
We can now take a train ride from Bytom to Miasteczko Śląskie in small coaches of the Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railways. We get on the train at the railway station of Bytom Karb Wąskotorowy and get off near the reservoir of Nakło–Chechło. Few people know that it is the oldest operating narrow-gauge railway line in the world. The first stretches of the line were launched as early as in 1853. In the following decades, in Upper Silesia, a network of lines connection was constructed, which in its heyday was nearly 250 km long.
