A bus ride from Krakow takes you to this fascinating salt mine discovered in the 1300s and is now UNESCO Heritage listed. The tour takes you down to the first level of 320 steps or 40 flights of stairs. The mines have caverns and corridors hand carved out dating back to the 1300s. There are 240 km of corridors and the tour of 2 hours only incorporates 2% of the salt mine.
There are beautiful statues carved out of salt and chandeliers made of wood and salt crystal.
All the statues are created by miners. The floors are salt tiles. The lakes inside the cavern are spectacular and have a higher salt content than the Red Sea. So you really would float easily.
The highest chamber is 36m high and has been used for bungee jumping.
