From the Gertruda Adit, a set of steps leads to a short side gallery on a higher level called Death Gallery. Miners suspected of gold theft where sentenced to die here. They were forced to put their hands into two apertures cut in the wall. The apertures with the hands inside were filled with mortar. The convist would die slowly in terrible torment.
