    Default The Wielicza Salt Mines, Poland

    Visited here on holiday in August. Got stung firt because they wanted money to take photos, so i bought the badge. Then when they seend my camera i had to pay more money for a proffesional photo pass, then when i got my tripod out they said i had to pay like £20, so i left there and picked it up at the end! Greedy people!

    This mine still is working ( i think) i passed a few mining looking people on the way. Accesss was down like a million steps, which i tried to take a photo of but it wouldnt work as people were constantly moving.

    Theres some amazing architecture down there, when you take into consideration 99% of it is carved out of salt!

    Photos may be slightly shaky, handheld on manual underground with no tripod doesnt work.



















    Theres also a church down there, a pub, ballroom etc i did take photos of them, but not sure where ive put them!

    Anyway hope you enjoyed and if i find them i'll post them up!

    That's rather nice Krypton-pictures are great & it would be cool to see the others if you find them.
