Wieliczka
Alter in the Wieliczka salt mines
April 17, 2005
I went to the greatly over-rated Wieliczka yesterday. It’s a nice place for the
first half hour, but the tour is almost two hours long and that is simply too long
considering much of it is rather monotonous. The entire area is salt mixed with
rock and other minerals, so it has very hard walls and floors. The entire area is
dug out of the salt like tunnels and there are dozens of salt carvings of numerous
Polish heroes like Copernicus, Pilsudski, Pope John Paul II, etc.
