Zrobotyzowani – the Renaissance of Industrial Tourism
The Zrobotyzowani initiative was established in 2019 as a manifestation of the rebirth of industrial tourism in Poland. The first years of our activity were dedicated to bringing our guests closer to the technical cultural heritage of the country, particularly railway monuments. Now, we are taking it a step further – organizing trips to active mining and production facilities. The year 2023 was full of events that satisfied the curiosity of the biggest technology enthusiasts!
Industrial Tourism
Industrial tourism is extremely popular in Western Europe, especially among our neighbors – the Germans and Czechs. It provides an opportunity to showcase the cultural heritage of a country or region, as well as the achievements of modern technology. The most popular form of industrial tourism is visiting workplaces in various industries – mines, sugar factories, breweries. Active industrial tourism, such as live museums or open-air museums popularizing vanishing professions, is also common. This form of leisure, in the case of inactive industrial facilities, is called post-industrial tourism. It is primarily found in regions where industry no longer plays a primary economic role and offers an opportunity for tourism development.
In Poland, the potential of post-industrial tourism has been recognized. The Industrial Monuments Route of the Silesian Voivodeship and the Map of Technical Monuments of Lower Silesia were created. We all associate the Guido Mine in Zabrze – a 19th-century mine with former miners as guides, attracting tourists from all over Poland. We also know the Railway Museum in Jaworzyna Śląska, which attracts railway enthusiasts from all over Europe with its collections, but also manages to interest the youngest visitors. And what about industrial tourism? This can also be found in Poland – from the Tyskie Brewery, through the Warsaw Filters, to the Volkswagen car factory near Poznań.
Unusual Trips
What can those who have already been everywhere do? Those who are interested in places usually inaccessible? What about those who want to know more than the average tourist? Zrobotyzowani was created for such people. Our 2023 was filled with trips for demanding tourists. We visited, among others, the lignite open-pit mine in Konin, the cable railway machinery rooms on Jaworzyna Krynicka and Góra Parkowa, the NEWAG rolling stock production plant in Nowy Sącz, and the Warsaw steelworks – three times!

In 2025, we are preparing one-day trips to active sites – a glassworks, the Bełchatów Lignite Mine, a power plant and rolling stock repair facility, or the backstage of an art-house cinema, as well as to historic and museum sites, such as the Częstochowa match factory. We also plan to repeat the events that received the most enthusiasm from participants – walking through a metro tunnel and a photo walk through the Warsaw steelworks. All our trips are preceded by many hours of arrangements with the hosts of the facilities, and sometimes – for reasons beyond our control – a trip cannot be realized despite our best efforts. Therefore, our events do not take place every week but are unique (usually one-time) opportunities to visit a given place.



We provide information about all trips, plans, and ideas through our newsletter, which we warmly recommend subscribing to: zrobotyzowani.com.pl/news.

Our Events
In past years, we organized train trips for photographers on narrow-gauge railways, forming historical train compositions that have not run on railway networks in Poland or even Europe for many years. We showcased active industries, visited massive open-pit excavators, and even looked into vats of molten steel. Many exciting challenges still lie ahead of us.
