Caves are typical spaces for speleotherapy. However, other underground spaces are also used. Sanatorium EDEL Ltd. in Zlaté Hory (Jeseník District, Czech Republic) uses abandoned mine as subterranean spaces. To evaluate seismic loading of this area, two origins of seismic events are necessary to take into account: firstly, breaking of rock massif as consequence of former mining activities, and secondly, influence of seismic events originated in the surroundings. First seismic station in Zlaté Hory operated by the Institute of Geonics of the CAS was placed in the territory of the ore mine “Zlaté Hory - East” in 1997. Since 2003, seismic monitoring has been carried out in the inaccessible part of underground space of the sanatorium. Evaluation of long-term seismological monitoring in the subterranean spaces of sanatorium is very important part of safety studies.
