The Bochnia Salt Mine is the oldest salt mine in Poland, today made accessible as an underground tourist route and a facility with a therapeutic function (subterranotherapy).
The site is located in Bochnia in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. The tour begins with a mining descent through the Campi shaft.
Rock salt mining began in Bochnia in 1251; the mine operated as an industrial plant until 1990. The workings reach considerable depths (several hundred metres). The route leads through historic chambers and galleries, an underground railway, a boat crossing and underground chapels, and the story of mining history is enriched with a multimedia exhibition.
For individual tourists, families and groups; route variants of varying difficulty are available.
Underground the temperature is about 15-17°C. The mine also offers accommodation and health stays in a chamber.
Open all year round; descents on the hour and half hour (times to be confirmed on the site's website).
Bochnia, Lesser Poland Voivodeship; the tour starts at the Campi shaft.
