Poland's Underground City Of Salt

Wieliczka Salt Mine is, without a doubt, one of the coolest and most unique places we have ever been! Located just outside of Krakow, this is a MUST VISIT in Poland. The salt mine has been around since the 14th century and is now a UNESCO site. There's a whole city of people going about their business every single day deep beneath the ground. The salt mines can have 10,000 people a day moving through them, which is why there are 500 guides and 200 maintenance staff working here. EVERYTHING IS MADE OF SALT. You will not be able to get over this fact as you make your way through the mines. There are 300 kilometres of tunnels (the same distance from Krakow to Warsaw!), 2000 chambers, many chapels, and countless intricate sculptures all made of SALT. You can lick the walls, if you don't believe it! The craziest part? What we see represents only 1% of the existing salt mine. The mine has received many famous visitors over the centuries from Chopin, Goethe, and John Paul II to dignitaries and king and queens. You walk down 380 steps to enter the mine and, thankfully, take a super fast elevator back to the surface after your tour. The Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli Wieliczka) is full of layers of history, intrigue, art, and culture. The feeling you have visiting is just total awe. Do not miss the chance to visit Wieliczka.

A similar salt mine for Wieliczka, and located near, but 40 years older, is the salt mine in Bochnia, founded in 1248. Till the end of the eighteenth century both mines constituted one enterprise. The exploitation of its salt deposits in Bochnia was completely stopped only in 1996. You can also tour it. The specificity of this mine is the underground sanatorium for people with respiratory and pulmonary allergic diseases. Patients spend nights at Ważyn Chamber, located at a depth of about 250 meters and having a specific microclimate. An underground sports field with an area of ​​almost 300 m2 and a mini playground are attractions for those who prefer active leisure.

Legend says that a Hungarian princess promised to the Polish king threw a ring into a salt mine in Hungary. On the way to Krakow she made a stop in Wieliczka. The service awakened her, scared by a rumble from below the ground. She immediately ordered them to dig in this place and there they extracted large lumps of salt. after shattering in the middle of the salt block they found a ring thrown into a mine in Hungary

I live in Krakow and in my school years when I wanted to skip a school day I was going to Wieliczka Salt Mine. I visited this extraordinary place many times and it still takes my breath away.

[@piotrszczepaniak1204]

Being there for the first time as a kid on a school trip, probably somewhere in the late 1970s, walking at the end of the group I got lost on my way to the elevator, of course... There was some panic, more among my teachers and guides than me, but it all ended well after 45 minutes or so. At that time, everything wasn't marked and lit so well down there, and from time to time you could turn and enter into a wrong corridor. As far as I remember, the mine was still in commercial use back then, and salt was produced there until late 1990's. Anyway - I was back to Wieliczka few times in my life, and I always advice my friends who plan to visit Poland to go there. BTW - great job, thank you!

He kept telling about how we can safely lick the walls to test if it was really salt, while also reminding us that the salt mines are visited by thousands of visitors, who probably may have done the exact same thing as we were going to (licking the salt). I licked it a bit. It was indeed salt. 10/10 Would go again.

Some people compare Wieliczka mines to mines of Moria 😄 The tour only shows a small fraction of the mine, with salt chapels, salt statues, salt halls, old mining equipments and constructions, underground super salty lakes and more, and with restaurants, cinema and shops at the end. There is also an underground museum, including a museum of art (it's an additional tour you can take without extra charge), and completely separate geological and speleological tour into a more wild parts of the mine (its more expensive and much longer). There is even an underground sanatorium for people with asthma. And all of that is still a smal fraction of the whole mine, some of the rest isn't save enough, or have to much water, to little oxygen or is simply being preserved. And there are more mines like this in Poland (salt mines, silver mines, coal mines etc.), opened as a tourist and educational attractions, but Wieliczka is the largest one (at least the part available for tourists).

[@mskk2004]

Not to mention that the tourist route only goes through a fraction of the entire mine. There's more. The miner's route leads through parts of the mine where typical visitor wouldn't go. If you choose it, you'll get all the miner's equipment, like hard hat, lamp, gas detector, delve into darkness wearing miner's clothes and do miner's tasks on the route. Very exciting. Check that up too. And besides Wieliczka, there's another salt mine nearby, in Bochnia. It is worth seeing too, it has attractions that Wieliczka doesn't, like underground river with boats.

I was there when I was a kid. It was very impressive indeed.

[@aldismurray2150]

Amazing to see this and everything made of salt---wow. You have unearthed something I didn't know existed. Keep it up.

[@EileenAldis]

Unearthed is a good way of putting it! ;) As you could tell, we couldn't get over the fact that everything is made of salt. Unbelievable. Glad you enjoyed seeing it too!

I'm leaving for Krakow/Warsaw on Wednesday and your videos have been so helpful! Can't wait to see this marvel with my own two eyes!

[@EileenAldis]

That's amazing! I'm so excited for you - hope you have a fantastic trip ❤️

@@EileenAldis Thank you so much! I'll be spending my birthday there, so one more reason to be excited for this trip!

[@EileenAldis]

Oh wow! Well happy birthday in advance then! Hope it's MAGICAL ✨💫🎂

@@EileenAldis Thank you, I'm so so excited!!!

[@halowojtas3490]

I got here by accident and I don't regret it. I am 36 years old, I am from Poland and I have not been to Wieliczka yet. Even more so, coming back from the mountains, I could visit this place more than once. You inspired me with this unique place. I greet you and your country.

[@amandabradley6256]

How incredible......I’m so glad you showed how you got there .....the costs of the tours are nuts. Train seems like the better option.

A Polish company which operated continuously for 500 years. One of those rare examples of Poland's wealth and culture which was not vandalized, burned, bombed or stolen by the neighbours... and forgotten.

[@martakop4484]

Wieliczka is really amazing. I love how Americans are excited about it:) makes me even prouder of my country!:)

[@Aroslavsky]

👍 ja zabrałem tam ostatnio moją znajomą z Filipin i bardzo jej się podobało, była zachwycona! Niestety nie udało się mi nic nagrać wtedy, tylko nasza wizytę w stolicy.

[@marketinginternational1777]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I grew up in Poland not too far from Krakow. I visited the mine when I was a child and don't remember a whole lot, so this video is really priceless to me. I'm so incredibly glad that so many international tourists come see it. Thank you again. You guys are so fun to watch and listen to. Cheers!

[@EileenAldis]

Hello and thanks so much for your lovely comment! I felt like a child visiting the mine because of the overwhelming feeling of wonder so I can only imagine what it would be like to visit as a child and how incredible it would be. Perhaps you'll have a chance to return to the mine again! As I'm sure you can tell in all our videos, we absolutely love Poland and this was a real highlight on our travels around the country as well. :)

[@shawnb5899]

What a fun video to find on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas to you both, and thank you so much for the amazing video of this place.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! Merry Christmas! 😀

I was there. Every time I thought they have just shown me the most impressive chamber on the planet they guided me to another. In elevator you can feel the wind as you go up. Everything is so unreal.
