Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most precious and fascinating Polish monuments. The first tourist trail in Wieliczka was established as early as the beginning of the 19th century. A couple of centuries later the salt mine was designated as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites (1978). The underground path leads through numerous drifts, galleries, and chambers, where traces of mining activity have been preserved, as well as examples of art, and theme compositions relating to the history of the mine and its legends. Wieliczka is the world's largest mining heritage museum... Moreover, the microclimate of the mine has a beneficial impact on visitors who suffer from asthma and allergies. The tour starts with a descent of 64 meters by stairs. You are then led through a number of chambers and shown underground lakes, shrines, and salt monuments. The trip finishes at the level of 135 meters below the surface and the return to the surface is by lift.

St. Kinga’s Chapel is a breathtaking underground sanctuary carved entirely from salt, located deep within the historic Wieliczka Salt Mine. Dedicated to Saint Kinga, this extraordinary space features intricate salt sculptures, crystal chandeliers, and detailed reliefs depicting biblical scenes. Both a place of worship and a masterpiece of craftsmanship, the chapel is considered one of the most remarkable highlights of the mine and a symbol of centuries-old mining heritage.

The chapel was amazing...

The chapel was amazing and 130 metres below ground. 9 floors of which 3 are open to the public. The remaining 6 will be filled with sand.

Superb

There is not many times I will give a 5 star rating However the salt mine is worth every star for the shear breath taking size of the place and the experience. I only gave a 4 for the audio, I explain later. Had a pickup which happily was close to our hotel, excellent starting guide with a 30 min bus trip to mine. By the way you can get to the mine by train from the main station of Glowney , however not sure how you get from station to mine the other end. Lots of steps down (300 or so ) all very good condition all in blocks of 8 steps descending in a well lite shaft. Too difficult to write up the whole experience, but at times breathtaking. I didn’t ask how far we walked but it must have been several Km’s so wear comfortable footwear. My only criticism is the audio system, a single earplug which was nye on impossible to hear the guide, at Auschwitz we were give a proper head set which fitted over my hearing aids.

Great trip

The trip to and from the mine worked well. The arrangement left time to grab a coffee before starting. The steps and the walk in the mine were a work out. Our guide was knowledgeable and amusing.

Stunning

Salt mine.... Everything, absolutely everything, is made of salt, including a church located 138 meters deep where statues and reproductions are all made of salt.... One of the strangest and most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life.... Absolutely recommended....
