Wieliczka Salt Mine

by BDK

Another day trip from Kraków is the Wieliczka Salt Mine. There are two trips, the tourist route and the miners’ route. I did the former, should have done the latter.

Nonetheless, it was an interesting trip. You go down about 400′ all told. There are a bunch of statues carved from the salt and and various chambers. There’s even a little cafe’ at the 400′ level. I had the pork chop and potatoes.

Statues of kings and popes and miners…

Some impressive cribbing:

A very tall chamber and a very sparkly one:
