I have been to the Wieliczka salt mine during my Erasmus project and it was an incredible experience, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, especially the underground chapel, stunning and the funny moments I had when going down the 300 and more steps(I thought they were never going to end hahaha)I and when taking the lift back to the top (there was no light). You both are amazing, this vlog is awesome, and it has brought to my mind a lot memories, of these wonderful journey I have had with my friends, thank you and there is still more to see!!! like in Rzeszów there are underground tunnels that were used during the periods of war, for protection and etc, but I don't want to say much enjoy and have fun, Poland is wonderful ❤️😊
I was there as a kid. In '92. Remember it well 😀
800 steps 😉
I live in Wieliczka my whole life, so I could see how Salt Mine was changing. Few years ago it wasn't that safe and also there were more places where we could go. Of course it also works in opposit way - there are so many new things!
Glad to see that people from other countries could fall in love with this stunning place as much as we did :D
Poland is an amazing country !!!
WRONG!
@@kimpeliz2477wdym??
I'd already pre-booked a tour of this place for when I'm in Krakow on the 27th. Really happy you were able to show me a highres sneak peak of what its like.
You'll love it Scott - this only covers a fraction of what's going on down there, amazing place!
Thank you for the trip back in time. It's been a while since my last trip. I was lucky to have visited the amazing site 3 times in the last few years... once with an inbound group visiting from the US. The mines are a pleasant way to spend the day and distract from some of the sad places we had on the itinerary.
No worries Brad - glad we could help u reminisce
Love from Sri Lanka
Thanks! Hoping to visit your country within the next year :)
That's a great idea! I'm sure you'll have so much fun :)
My mother visited Sri Lanka about 5 years ago and she loved it :) Esp all the greenery around and all those beautiful buddism sanctuaries, and she enjoyed the meeting of such calm, peaceful people. And also she loved the elephants. She was fan of elephants and considered them very inteligent animals. Warm wishes from Poland toward your nation :)
I am so happy to see people from abroad adventuring my country - Poland.
Best regards to you guys, doing great job venturing Cracow and surroundings. I love watching you and hearing about your experience, from tourist point of view!!!
You should go to Zakopane!
My city!!! ☺ Kisses form Wieliczka ❤
Great city! ❤️
I remember visiting there. So awesome to see and experience. The chapel is just so extraordinary as its all made of salt. The Princess he mentioned was called Kinga, which was my ex's name too. Im glad you guys enjoyed it as i did.
Guys, try and check out the Tatras, even if for a day, I am sure you will love it. Just avoid the route to Morskie Oko on a Sunday, and probably the Dolina Chocholowska and Koscieliska routes too if you want a less crowded experience :) You can simply hike to one of the shelters for a non-exposed, beautiful hike rewarded by awesome views. No need to climb massive peaks if you don't feel like it :) (and I wouldn't recommend hitting any of the highest peaks if you're not comfortable and don't have proper shoes/equipment)
Was there once at business party. You stay sober until you reach the surface :). I am glad you enjoyed it. There are still few nice places around Cracow and many more in Poland. Enjoy!
Poland is an amazing country with polite and friendly people. GOD BLESS POLAND AND ALL POLISH!!! Amen!
Heck yeah it is! We loved it
I'm not big fan of any stuff like this but I actually enjoyed this tour when I was there. It was a beautiful sight from just salt. I'm amazed sometimes with what humans and nature can create together.
Never heard of this incredible place...but thanks to you both I'll definitely visit if I get make my way to Poland.The Holy Chapel was out of this world. So many hidden gems to be found in the world😉😉😉
Without a doubt THE best tourist attraction I've ever visited
Definitely an incredible place! Glad you've been as well.
So many steps down! Glad you didn't have to go back up them. I had never heard of the salt mine... really impressive.
Haha we felt the same, walking down was muuuch easier!
I didn't know public can visit a mine!!!!
@Travel With Mansoureh - this one no longer excavates salt (aside converting salty water into it) and some part of it was (small part of it!) converted into sorts of huge museum. Aside Wieliczka, there is plenty of old mines in Poland that public can visit, coal mine in Zabrze, silver mine in Tarnowskie Góry, salt mine in Bochnia and even old Uranium mine in Kletno are only few to mention.
Aaaand we also have a gold mine that you can visit. It is located in Złota Góra.
@@crazyfrytka Fascinating. I am from South Africa originally, now living in UK. I lived in Johannesburg, a city built on gold mining. Huge mine dumps and all the old head gear can be seen all around the city. I would absolutely love to visit the gold mines and salt mines in Poland and see what they are like and learn about their history!! ☺☺👍👍
Thank you. Your tour was never rushed and the camera was steady. Much appreciated.
You're welcome!
I have never been to a salt mine tour , so it was interesting to watch..Thanks for sharing
Our first experience as well - so fascinating! We only captured a fraction of whats down tehre as well
Its absolutely amazing. When I was 12 I slept in salt mine on a school trip to Bochnia which is around 30min drive away from Wieliczka, that was awesome!
Thirstytraveler41 if you can, go
This is astonishing! Thanks for sharing Dane and Stacey!
Glad you enjoyed it Ivan!
I was there just yesterday,and the experience was wonderful.I also just had to lick the walls to make sure it really was salty😀
Hahah love it! It's like a rite of passage to lick the walls 😂
Had to look this up went here as a kid with my mom ... well covered just like I remembered
Glad we could remind you of it!
One thing worth mentioning to people is the "dress code" when you go down there. Even if it's a typical scorching polish summer on the surface the tour takes about 2 hours and it is COLD there so keep warm folks.
Yup - good point!
Really like watching your videos. You, Guys seem to be really interested and involved in places you visit, what is trully valuable. Good luck with another trips and thank you for your great work!
Thanks man!
Very nice video. I love Poland. Thank you. Greatings from Florida
Incredible country huh?? We've got lots more from Poland if you're interested
I'm from Poland but last time I was in Wieliczka 10 years ago. Nice to see this place again, from the perspective of someone from another country. Thank you and from today, I am becoming your regular viewer. 😀 Regards 😊
Happy to share with you! Thanks for your comment
😂😂😂OMG reminiscing that heart pounding going down stairs! One of the best tourist attraction i've been!
Hi. I was living in Poland for about 23 years, now I am 38 years old and never have been in Wieliczka before I just have heard about this place. We went there 2 weeks ago and I can say...amazing place!!! I didnt know that Wieliczka mine is so beautiful. Some people told me Bochnia mine (not far away) is even more beautiful.
insanely beautifull,thank you for shoving us,been to Poland and Krakov but missed the salt mines,,,,,so thanks for this!!
What a fascinating place - brilliantly captured and explained. The way you presented this moved my interest in the idea of visiting the mine from a just passing one to something I would not miss if I visited Krakow. That shows how good you guys are at drawing your viewers into your experiences. :)
Love it - that's pretty powerful if it's true, Rex. As always we massively appreciate your insight, hope you do get to visit Krakow, genuinely one of our fav places so far.
There was areport on the same mine by another vlogger. Not going to say names but yours was on another level by comparison. :)
We are here in Krakow now, going to Salt Mines tomorrow so happy to see your video! Thank you!!!
Hope you guys loved it!
Guys Thank you very much for showing my lil home country they way you do. ❤❤
how bizarre! loved it though, very unique place. Nice one guys :D
At a time, 1/4 of Polish Kingdom income was made by Wieliczka salt mine and neighbour mines.
awesome guys. Definitely going there when we get to Poland. thanks for the tour.
No worries Davie - highly recommend you check it out!
I went there last Thursday it's a totally amazing place and totally worth the visit. But there is a lot of steps u have to go down
Poland was a very rich country back in the day thanks to the massive amounts of salt in some regions. Salt was very precious as it preserved food.
This is so awesome! My boyfriend and me were at this mine in January, went to Krakow to celebrate New Year. Such an amazing city, beautiful experience. I would definitely love to go there again! Btw we had the same tour guide :D
Funny you had the same guide, random!
Had the opportunity to visit a salt mine in Colombia. Looking forward to seeing this one on Tuesday. Thanks, very good video.
I was there when I was six. It was so beautiful. I’m dying to go again.
Great informative video! Looks like an amazing place, and we're on our way to it right now! Can't wait!
You're going to love it!
Oh my god, what an amazing place, absolutely loved every minute of it! Thank you! Love from Krakow and Ireland of course! Xxx
My son and I were there this last September, it’s amazing. Took us 3 hours to get through it which was really hard for me seeing that I had a fractured hip and surgery a month or so before being there. Our guide said that I shouldn’t go through it because of that. But I’m stubborn and actually finished the whole thing. Would love to go back again.
I visited Amsterdam just one week after Achilles tendon operation. My wife was pushing me on a wheel-chair. Greetings from Poland
I have been here before.thanks for the memories.
I’m going to Poland next year on the 8th of April I’m so excited!❤
I am not sure if you were told about one thing. It is possible to have a party down there, such as wedding receptions. I've been in both Wieliczka and Bochnia and we could party in one spacious room and sleep in another one. As I remember there was even a cinema down there and a sort of sports hall where we could play basketball or volleyball.
Wow!!
Saw a few of the rooms down there for ceremonies etc, looked awesome! A party there would be great.
My that was awesome a hot air balloon there? That sounds amazing even if its only 2m from the ground. Am learning a lot from Daneger's stories too.
This looks an amazing day trip away from Krakow. Great visuals guys.
So interesting I've seen that place on tv but you guy captured the experience of being really there nice job.And if you ever want to see an abandon gold mine in Colorado i got your backs on that.
I went there around the time you guys uploaded this video! Such a cool place!
Best foreign relation from Wieliczka so far. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate that, thank you!
If you are rich enough you can have a wedding there in salt mine
Wow! It's my little town! It's really nice that You've visited Wieliczka! :)
Wieliczka Mine is the ONLY such a place in the ENTIRE World.
what do you mean?
You should see Salt Mine in Bochnia.
lots of salt mines in Germany
Absolutely fascinating!! 😮😮😃😃
Podoba mi się twoja relacja i namawiam do odwiedzenia innych regionów Polski łącznie z niedocenianym Podlasiem i Kurpiami o bogatych tradycjach regionalnych, czy wiesz, że na Kurpiach bursztyn wykopuje się z ziemi, na Podlasiu żyją Żubry w Puszczy Bialowieskiej, tradycje jak Palmy Wielkanocne, Miodobranie, czy wesele kurpiowskie co roku się odbywają, zwiedz też Kaszuby, na prawdę każdy region ma coś do zaoferowania wystarczy zrobić plan podróży i pytać co mieszkańcy regionu polecają zobaczyć, miłego zwiedzania, chciałabym zobaczyć wiecej
wow that was my favourite vlog about that place and I've seen A LOT of them here. Really informative and well done!
Really appreciate that, thanks so much 🙏🏼
This video was so cute! I'm working on a project for a salt shed in architecture school and I'm trying to learn a bit more about the history of salt. The my friend comes over and he's like yeah that's where my dad is from Wieliczka! Im like whaaaaaaa! Anyway thanks fotr the video super lovely :)
Went on Salt mine tour in Austria, we slid down rails and rode on a rail car in the dark mostly ! 😎
I will be in Kraków in July. I think , this video made me want to visit Wieliczka:)
Definitely worth a visit! Lots of cool stuff to do in Krakow
BARTMAN4371 Be sure to go there, we did and would love to go again sometime
Wow i had the same tour guide when I was there a few days ago
I went here on a school trip back at the end of June it was amazing!
Makes me so homesick for my Poland 🇵🇱😢
Dziękuję! We love Poland
I have been there. This was so nice.
Really cool place isnt it!
Daneger and Stacey I like it. Really enjoy it☺️
A very professionally made subject about the Wieliczka mine ... Regards Daneger and Stacey.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)

Fantastic just bought ticket to Cracow
You're gonna love it - such an epic city
So lit! This had me blown away too! How can something as amazing as this ever exist without me knowing it! My goodness, that was one educational vlog! I hope you both are okay, as you know am always raping the replay button (can't get enough of your vlog). I mostly watch you on my mobile phone, but that's under my other account. Will comment there as well, yours truly ---
Ahhhh so jealous of your Vietnamese coffee - THE best in the world in our opinion (so far). Enjjjjoy!! Thanks for the double, triple, quadruple watching on your channels haha
I live in Wieliczka. Greetings from Wieliczka :)
🙏🏼 Heeeey!
Heey :*
been there, both amazing and creepy. my favorite was the light show
First time I visited Wieliczka Salt Mine I had a meal in restaurant underground. And I asked for more salt to my soup...
HAHA
The Wieliczka Salt Mine opened in the 13th century, the mine produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines in operation.
So much love from KENYA
I am from Poland, I've been here is very nice, if you can go to the mountains in Krakow
I was in wieliczka I remember when I was there there was a salt dragon in the tunnels
Just watching you being so down below is causing an anxiety ;D I can't imagine being trapped under the surface without the light. :)
Haha yeah its pretty far under ground!
Is the mine open to public?
It's huge tourist attraction with millions of tourists passing every year, so yea of course it is :) Visit mine's website they posted, all details are there. Although they went on some sort of special tour, usually there is around 15-20 people in one group.
Absolutely! Take a look at their website to see prices and tour options: www.wieliczka-saltmine.com/
Travel With Mansoureh yess
Expect a lot of children there lol at least when u go during the school year. Its a very popular destination for trips. I think my school took me there 4 times LOL
Travel With Mansoureh yes,
Remember that salt mines are core point of medieval polish wealth... back then 3-4 pounds of salt were equivalent to 2 pounds of silver:) King and Queen that are mentioned in video are known for establishing 50 new towns in Poland ;) whats significant😊
The best place I was there.
well explained, cos of u i just want to do some eat tours !
Love it have visited 3 times
Was the last scene the elevator to come back to the surface? Really enjoyed it guys..thanks for sharing! 👍
Yeah the elevator back up, it's fast and pretty crazy... and full! Hard to film in there haha
This video is the only good thing after work today... 😘
Thats awesome! Hope you had a god day
Amazing place to see!
So impressive there!
Actually in Poland throwing a coin into a fountain/water reservoir means only one thing - being lucky enough to come back to the same location one day. We make our lucky wish upon the falling star or when we guess on which cheek an eylash had fallen (when someone spots the eyelash on your cheek they will jusk ask "which cheek", if you guess you're entitled to make a wish).
We didnt know that, now we do!
Thanks for the video upload. I was doubting visiting (claustaphobic) But looked fine.The lift to the surface looks like you can only get 2 or 3 people in. How long are you in the lift for and is there a light? This is the only thing stopping me wanting to visi now. Appreciate any advice. Thank you.
My friend: you can't leave Krakow without visiting the salt mine!
Me: a salt mine, really?
Also me after visiting the mine: waddahell !💙
ASL?
Pozdrowionka z Polski 🇵🇱
I love when he said, "Planned on getting some fitness today, Babe?" Tee hee....they're so cute together.
Awww thanks! Glad you're enjoying
Oh yeah Bucket List! Check! yet another great vlog guys.. was it cold down there?
Not as cold as what we were told - they say its 15 degrees but didnt feel that chilly to us.
well coming from NZ you don't feel the cold too much.
That's just incredible. I need to see this underground chapel. Great video!
Im recommending visit ORZO for breakfast -cool modern place
hey, thanks for the nice sneal preview guys! I am going tomorrow morning, and was wondering if it is too cold in there for me to go in shorts? It is going to be 32 degrees above ground though. Thanks!
Sorry we didn't get back to you in time, hope you had an amazing time
Great video! :)
Great video. Your both wonderful
Thank you :)
I just realized how much Salt there is out there on Earth - if all Oceans evaporated it would leave dunes of salty desert spread over thousand of miles!
Haha love that youve just randomly tripped out at the thought of salt
Love this place, such a beautiful country
The lady you mentioned in 3rd minute is St. Kinga. The same the chapel (church) is dedicated.
