Thanks for the super treatment last weekend. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that I got more than I paid for. The service was first class from the start and continued till the end of our little jaunt.

Visit to Wieliczka Salt Mine
"The historic Salt Mine in Wieliczka is the only mining site in the world functioning continuously since the Middle Ages. Lying on nine levels, its original excavations (longitudinals, traverses, chambers, lakes, as well as minor and major shafts) stretch for the total of about 300 kilometres: reaching the depth of 327 metres they illustrate all the stages of mining technology development over time".
The quotation comes from the justification for entering the Wieliczka Salt Mine on UNESCO's First World List of Cultural and Natural Heritage, 8th September, 1978 together with 11 other sites from around the world.
You will take a walk of 3 km through 3 levels in the Salt Mine down to 136 meters below ground level through chambers and passageways excavated in the 17th century. During the tour you will see underground chambers and chapels hewn out in the saltrock, statues of saints sculpted in salt, and saline lakes.
A breath taking experience and an absolute must see!
