[May, 2009] In Poland, we went to Wieliczka Salt Mine, too, which has got 900 years’ history.
According to my guide book it was listed UNESCO World Heritage in 1978.
You have to go down the wooden staircase with 380 steps.
The main attraction is Chapel of the Blessed Kinga made of salt at 101 metres deep underground.
There is the Last Supper in salt, too.
The depth of this mine is more than 300 metre, but tourists can go up to the point of only 135 metres deep.
I enjoyed going back up by the lift which was like the one used by the labourers.
Apparently about 1 million people visit here and on the day I was there, it was really crowded, too.
