You step off the minivan into a cool, dim corridor and the air seems to rearrange itself — salt crystals sparkle like distant streetlights and the sound of footsteps echoes down stone. The Wieliczka Salt Mine drops visitors into 700 years of human labor: carved passages, vaulted chambers, and a chapel hewn entirely from salt.
