Bochnia Salt Mine, Salt mine in Bochnia, Poland
The excavated chambers and corridors of Bochnia Salt Mine extend for kilometers beneath the surface, reaching depths of 212 meters at the August level point.
The mine began operations in 1248 when rock salt deposits were discovered during the deepening of brine wells near Babica stream, establishing two initial mining shafts.
The St. Kinga Chapel within the mine contains salt crystal chandeliers, religious relics, and hosts regular Sunday masses in its underground sanctuary throughout the year.
The standard multimedia tour costs 82 PLN for adults and 70 PLN for discounted tickets, with guided tours starting from the Campi shaft entrance.
The mine features an underground railway that runs through the center of St. Kinga Chapel, making it the only subterranean church with a train passing through.
