Visitors may take a walk of 3 km through 3 levels in the Salt Mine down to 136 meters below ground level through chambers and passageways excavated in the 17th century. On the way visitors see underground chambers and chapels hewn out in the saltrock, statues of saints sculpted in salt, and saline lakes.

Every 8th person on a minivan is going for FREE - to book just pick 7 persons and put "FREE PLACE" into a special request box during the reservation process.

The tour around Salt Mine with an English speaking guide is a high additional cost about which you usually find out when you arrive at the Museum. Going with us you can be always sure that all fees are included.
