Wieliczka
This is a small town, in the south of Poland, just 10 km away from Krakow. Wieliczka is most famous for its Salt Mine (the only construction of its kind which still functions to the present day). In 1978, it was entered into the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. The over 700-year-old mine is an underground world of salt halls, chambers and chapels, some even 327m below the ground. The magnificent Chapel of the Blessed Kinga made entirely of salt, should be visited. It is 10 m tall, 54 long and 15 m wide. It is beautifully decorated, with unique chandeliers made from salt crystals and other salt sculptures. A stay underground is extremely beneficial to those with respiratory problems and allergies. After a tour of the mine you can visit the Salt Mine Museum, in which you can find a unique collection of saltshakers. You may also visit the 16th century St. Sebastian's Church.
