Visit Salt Mine
13th December
Weather cold but bright and sunny, and we caught a minibus to the Wieliczka Salt Mine about 35 minutes west of Krakow. We descended about 300 feet by wooden steps to a labrynth of and tunnels, with chapels, statues and caverns carved out of the salt. We covered the 3 upper levels down to 400 feet, and there were apparently a further 6 levels below that.
Explored the district briefly before catching the minibus back to town and the old town square in the sun….the only really nice day. We explored the grounds of the Wawel Royal Castle overlooking the River Vistula at the end of the afternoon after it was closed, so unable to see inside the Castle or church.
