Day 20: Down into the Depths of the Wieliczka Salt Mine
We made a day trip out of Krakow to the town of Wieliczka, famous for its Heritage-listed salt mine. We took a tour through about 3km of the mine, which is only around 1% of the mine’s length – it’s been mined for several centuries and in their "spare time" the miners have made the effort to dig out numerous chapels, concert halls, caverns and lakes. Fascinating!
The Chapel of the Blessed Kings. One of the dioramas in the caverns.
