Krakow + Antwerp Trip Day 2 (20 Apr 08) (Part 4)

Continuing the tour of Wieliczka Salt Mine, we proceeded to the largest chamber in the salt mine. The large chamber with walls were carved to resemble wooden chapels built by miners in earlier centuries. The mine is often referred to as "the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland."
