Hraničná is a iron ore mine next to Skorošice, appx 4km to go. There is no possibility to fill tanks at the mine, so please bring all the tanks needed for the amount of dives you do. The way inside is appx 300 meters on an even floor.
The first Level starts at 45 meters, but on the way down there is a small corridor at 12 meters, enough space to clear away during decompression. At 9 m and 12m are mounts for laying down decompression stages. Further floors at 75 m and 120 m.
