Szyb Daniłowicza w Wieliczce, Mining headframe in Wieliczka, Poland.
The Daniłowicz Shaft rises above ground with its steel construction, marking the entrance point to the extensive underground salt mine network.
The shaft, constructed in 1635 during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth period, initially operated with a horse-driven system for salt transportation.
The entrance structure represents the industrial heritage of Polish salt mining, connecting visitors to centuries of mineral extraction traditions.
Tourists begin their underground mine exploration through this shaft, which contains modern elevators transporting groups 64 meters below the surface.
The steel headframe changed its name to Archduke Rudolf's Shaft in 1887 but returned to Daniłowicz in 1918 after Poland regained independence.
