Social Event. Departure by buses to the historical salt mines in Wieliczka, which has been in the use for at least 700 years.
The historic Salt Mine in Wieliczka is the only mining site in the world functioning continuously since the Middle Ages.
Its original excavations (longitudinals, traverses, chambers, lakes, as well as minor and major shafts) are located on nine levels and extend for the total of about 300 kilometres: reaching the depth of 327 metres they illustrate all the stages of mining technology development over time.
This is one of the region's best-known tourist attractions, due to a rich collection of sculptures in the native crystalline rock salt, many of them the work of unknown miners/artists over the ages of the mine's operation.
The salt mines of Wieliczka are on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
List, among the world's major international monuments with the Pyramids, Versailles and the Taj Mahal, and have delighted countless visitors including Kings, Emperors, and famous artists.
After the two-hour tour through the historic salt mine participants are invited to dinner in one of the underground salt chambers. The music of traditional miner's band will make this dinner an unforgettable experience. For those interested in mystery and romance, a prehistoric mound, swathed in legend, lies just outside the city. More information about the mine can be find on the website: The Wieliczka Salt Mine. |
