FRANTIŠEK IS ALIVE

The mining era is coming to an end. František remains. Standing on the horizon of Horní Suchá is an 85-meter-tall reinforced concrete hero — imposing proud as a technological monument of regional significance.

The mines are closing

The only one left standing

Where coal was once mined, a new era begins.
