Salt Mine Klodawa

About

Kłodawa Salt Mine's 26km-long vein was discovered in 1939 by Polish professor Edward Walery Janczewski. However, it wasn’t until after WWII that the mine was opened, with drilling starting in 1956. Up until 1966, this was primarily done using horses. Klodawa’s pink and blue salt is the only coloured salt in Poland, and creates breathtaking underground caverns. The tour not only takes you through these caverns on a trip that ends 600m underground, but will show you first hand how the salt is mined – because it’s an active mine! A great escape during foul weather, the mines are protected from the elements and regulate their temperature year round. Please note: it's strongly recommended to make reservations at least 1 week in advance. For more information, please visit sol-klodawa.com.pl
