This paper presents the phenomenon of travelling to places of memory, with particular emphasis on their local naturę. Examples discussed include places of memory directly related to the miners’profession, in particular those that are devoted to the victims of tragic events that took place in mines. In the last few years tourists have become more interested in places of memory related to mining, which is directly associated with the functioning of the nature-tourist trail called “Following the miners’ toil”, created on the initiative of the members of “Sokół” Cycling Club, which is a part of PTTK Division in Radlin.
