Salt Mine Wieliczka

The Wieliczka Salt Mine - over 700 years old - is one of the most well known tourist attractions in the world. This unique monument of culture located only 10 kilometres outside of Krakow was created by many generations of Polish miners. Its beautiful and remarkable underground landscape, full of salt lakes, chambers and salt sculptures amazes everyone who visits that UNESCO World Heritage Site.Salt had been the source of affluence of the town and country for centuries. The centuries­old mining of deposits has shaped the present layout of excavations, which stretch across nine levels, reaching 327 meters in depth. The underground town features approximatley 300km of drifts and 3,000 chambers. Only a 3,5km stretch of the salt mine is open to the public, visited every year by over million tourists. In 1978, the Salt Mine was put on the UNESCO World Culture Heritage List. On special request is possible to organise tour for disabled people.
