Today I finally got to see something I’ve dreamed about seeing for many years; the Wieliczka Salt Mine near Kraków, Poland which has been operating since the 13th century. There are many chambers inside and we were only allowed to see a very small percentage of the actual line which is still in operation today. They are beautiful sculptures carved into the salt which looks a lot like granite. The sculptures are disappearing from humidity and have been endangered since the 1980s. You should go and see this while you can! Due to the antibacterial properties of salt, you are allowed to lick the walls - if you need proof that everything is made of salt. Swipe to the end to watch me try it and give you a culinary review! (ps. I was wearing a mask the whole time except for one photo and one video... don’t worry) #wieliczkasaltmine #poland🇵🇱 #saltsculpture #sculptureart #igtraveller #womenwhotravel #saltmine (at Wieliczka Salt Mine, Krakow-Polandia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWawbtALulJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
