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.

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

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!

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 Жыл бұрын
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.

OMG. I remember I was in Wieliczka in primary school so... more or less than 20 years ago and it’s so amazing that it’s still there yet it’s just 20 years. Mind blowing, when you realize that’s just not even whole 3% (if I’m counting this correctly) of its age... Yet, it’s almost whole my life... I think that I should visit this place again... Hopefully I won’t lose directions next time xD
