The UNESCO salt mine in Poland 🇵🇱

#100waysoftravel One of the first ever (if not the first) entries to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a must visit if you're in Krakow. The mines were equal parts interesting, educational, entertaining, and beautiful. The tour takes about 2-3 hours and the route includes about 800 steps. If you are chronically ill, consult your doctor to rule out any contraindications. The Wieliczka salt mine illustrates the historic stages of the development of mining techniques in Europe from the 13th to the 20th centuries. The mines have hundreds of kilometers of galleries with works of art, underground chapels and statues sculpted in the salt, making a fascinating pilgrimage. It is worth to visit there and please take a reservation to skip the lining for the ticket. #poland #saltmine
