Bochnia Salt Mine

Greetings, I visited the Salt Mine in May of 2004. I went because I had some free time I was not too enthuiastic initally. That was a huge mistake. This place was amazing the sculptures are just awesome do not forget your camera! They also have a great cheap gift shop. Don't buy salt artifacts in Krakow get them here at the source! I am going back in a couple of weeks I liked it so much.

I visited it in 2000. It was awesome. like underground town. There is underground church, sport hall, cafe, sanatorium in salt mine. Also the town of Bochnia is nice - beautiful buildings, streets, basilica.

we like it all so much so we are going back in april again lots to see plus a lot of history there very very cheap as well excellent

This is a medieval salt mine in town of Wieliczka (hence most often referred to as Wieliczka mine) of tremendous historical significance. This mine hosts the world exclusive grand and incredible medieval salt carvings of various folk and religious figures. Its uniqueness was recognized by UNESCO when it was added to the World Heritage Sights list as one of the first entries ever in 1978. Way before any sight in Italy, France or countless other countries. The mine is located in close proximity to Krakow and a very important sight of German Nazi largest concentration camp at Auschwitz (town of Oswiecim). An absolute must-see.

Here yuo can see what you don`t in other place.nice town,young people who make atmosphere

absolutely fantastic-can't wait to be in Bochnia again

i visited the salt mines in Feb 2004, at the time i did struggle the hundreds of steps to get down there because of joint problems i suffer with. however, i enjoyed it so much that i am planning a return to krakow and to visit the mines again in Summer 2005!
