The Wieliczka Salt Mine, near Krakow, plummets nine stories, 1,072 feet (approx. 327 meters), below ground level. Via 26 mine shafts accessed over seven centuries, some 2,500 unique chambers were carved out through salt excavations, linking corridors which span a massive 245 kilometers (152 miles).
A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1978, the otherworldly underground mine has become a hot spot for tourists.
“The corridors and even the floor are made of salt,” Aleksandra Sieradzka, of the mine’s communications department, told Bored Panda. “The chandeliers also contain crystal salt, the purest type of salt.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/underground-salt-mine-in-poland-has-otherworldly-saline-lakes-statues-ballrooms-that-defy-belief_3745048.html?v=ul
