The museum is built in the exact location where the legendary crown of the Lord of the Mountains was supposedly discovered in the early 21st century.
The exhibition was designed by visual artists to reflect the Karkonosze region's reputation as a historical center for alchemy and glassmaking.
The interior layout is designed to mimic the appearance of a subterranean cave system rather than a standard building interior.
The Mountain Spirit depicted in the museum serves as a cultural synthesis of local folklore from both the Polish and German history of the Sudetes.
The facility uses light, sound, and interactive sensory elements to simulate the geological and supernatural history of the mountains.
Karkonoskie Tajemnice is an interactive underground exhibition in Karpacz focused on the folklore and myths of the Karkonosze Mountains. The facility is built around the legend of the Mountain Spirit, known as Liczyrzepa or Rzepiór. Visitors traverse dimly lit subterranean corridors featuring multimedia displays, sculptures, and animatronics. The exhibition incorporates historical artifacts and artistic interpretations of local Slavic and Germanic legends. The facility is located on the site where a historic crown of the Mountain Spirit was reportedly unearthed. It functions as an immersive museum experience rather than a traditional outdoor theme park. The space is fully climate-controlled and designed for year-round exploration regardless of mountain weather. Much of the narrative focuses on the alchemists and treasure hunters traditionally associated with the region.
