Bochnia, Historic salt mining town in Lesser Poland, Poland.
Bochnia extends along the Raba River in southern Poland, positioned between Tarnów and Kraków within the Lesser Poland Voivodeship administrative region.
The discovery of rock salt deposits in 1248 transformed the settlement, leading to the establishment of mining operations and the granting of city rights in 1253.
The Stanisław Fischer Museum, housed in a former Dominican monastery, exhibits Polish paintings and contains 19,000 artifacts across multiple departments.
The town connects to major transportation routes including the A4 motorway and regular train services to Kraków, located 30 kilometers away.
The Bochnia Salt Mine contains the Ważyn Chamber, the largest man-made underground chamber in Europe, featuring a bedroom, sports area, and therapeutic microclimate.
