Special Schedule Notes

The mine has operated continuously since its construction in the Middle Ages. Today it reaches a depth of more than one thousand feet on nine levels with close to one hundred ninety miles of corridors, galleries, chambers and underground lakes. The mine currently has three distinct functions: as an active, working mine, as the world's first subterranean therapeutic sanitarium used in the treatment of bronchial and allergic asthma, and as an important tourist attraction for visitors to Krakow. People who tour the mine visit only the first three levels, along a winding route of nearly two miles. As they follow the subterranean paths, they wander past artistic salt carvings and the 17th century solid salt St. Anthony chapel, the oldest original creation in the mine.

The largest and most ornate of three subterranean chapels is one that bears the name of blessed Kinga, the patron of Polish salt miners and the wife of Boleslaw the Bashful, the 13th-century Prince of the Krakow-Sandomierz province. The cavernous room, its altars and religious statues - even glittering chandeliers - are all carved in salt.
