About

The Salt Mine of Wieliczka has for a long time been a first-rate tourist attraction on a worldwide scale. In 1978 was entered on the UNESCO First World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. The Salt Mine welcomes visitors the whole year round and is still the working enterprise. The extraction of rock salt started around 1290 so it has been in existence for well over 700 years. It stretches over a huge area. There are over 2040 chambers where excavation has now been abandoned, distributed throughout nine levels. They are connected by corridors of a total length of 124 miles (200 km). Level 1 lies at the depth of 210 feet (64 m) below ground level, while Level 9 goes down to a depth of 1073 feet (327 m). The excavation sites available for sightseeing aren't the oldest ones. However, some of them go back to the seventeenth century.
