Szyb Daniłowicza, Mining shaft museum in Wieliczka, Poland
The Daniłowicz Shaft features a mining tower with an elevator system that transports visitors 135 meters below ground into the salt mine complex.
Built in 1635 as one of eight new shafts, this structure received its name from Jan Mikołaj Daniłowicz, who managed the mine between 1640 and 1642.
The shaft marks the primary entrance point to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, where visitors begin their exploration of underground chambers and tunnels.
Tourists enter the mine through this shaft by descending in groups with professional guides who lead them through various chambers and corridors.
During the 19th century, the shaft discontinued its production role and transformed into a dedicated tourist entrance, welcoming visitors from across the globe.
