Wieliczka Salt Mine Tour
English-speaking guide
Visit Wieliczka Salt Mine – a world-class tourist attraction and UNESCO site. Over 700 years old, this monument of history has been created by many generations of Polish miners. We can see up to 20 excavated chambers on 3 levels; the main one is located 130 meters below the ground level. Exceptional in its beauty, with the rich interior decoration of the chapels – including the most beautiful of Blessed Kinga, the original linings of the galleries and workings, and the underground salt lakes.
Magnificent chambers were chiseled out in rock salt. Amazing underground saline lakes, majestic timber constructions and unique statues sculpted in salt. There are almost 3 kilometers of meandering corridors and 800 steps to climb, of which 350 have to be descended to reach the depth of 135 meters underground. Thus, it is no surprise that, until now, the Tourist Route, the main visiting route of the mine, has been visited by 36,000,000 tourists from around the world searching for adventures.
The journey starts at the Danilowicz Shaft. Here, visitors meet their guide, who, during their excursion, will tell them everything they want to know about the mine's history and its secrets. About the forces of nature ruling within the depths of the mine, about the ethos of hard work performed by the generations of miners. Traveling further and further into the mine chasm, tourists discover unusual places and see with their own eyes the power of human hands that once excavated rock salt, as well as magnificent mining tools and machines.Note: temperature inside: +15 oC (55 F).
