The Vojtěch mine is a disused mine for the extraction of silver and lead ore in Březové Hory in Příbram. The mine was founded in 1779 by Jan Antonín Alis and was one of the most important mines in the Březohorské district. Originally named Nová jáma (new pit).

It was the first in the world to reach a depth of one kilometre, in 1875. The related celebrations were also attended by Emperor Francis Joseph I, to show the world how progressive the monarchy was and how handy the workers were.
The Adalberti vein was the thickest and richest vein in the mining district. It had a length of 4,740 m and went down to a depth of 1,020 m (according to Neumayr, 1897; see https://www.geovirtual2.cl/pdf-geo-lit/neumayr-band2-ocr-480-v01pq.pdf).
