Walk down 800 steps to reach a depth of 135 meters and traverse around 2 kilometers through various chambers.
As one of Poland's national historic monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the salt mines feature numerous statues and four chapels carved out of rock salt by miners. Contemporary artists have also added their carvings to the site.
