Seeking an experience beyond the typical sightseeing tour? Discover the hidden side of the Wieliczka Salt Mine with the Miners’ Route. This is an authentic, hands-on underground journey through ancient passages, chambers, and tools once used by real miners. Descend 70 meters underground via the Regis Shaft, the mine’s oldest and still-active shaft, and equip yourself like a miner with a helmet, suit, lamp, and CO detector. This is not just for show; you’ll engage in real tasks such as measuring methane, drilling salt, operating a water wheel, and symbolically “blasting” a tunnel. No crowds or tourist paths here—just the eerie silence, the crunch of salt underfoot, and a guide leading you like a true foreman. Explore chambers rarely seen by tourists and earn a certificate for your “First Mining Skills.” It’s an immersive, unforgettable, and genuinely authentic experience. Perfect for explorers who want to feel, not just see.
