It may feel like you are in the middle of a Jules Verne adventure as you descend in to the depths of the world. After a one hundred and fifty meter climb down wooden stairs the visitor to the salt mine will see some amazing sites. About the most astounding in terms of its sheer size and audacity is the Chapel of Saint Kinga. The Polish people have for many centuries been devout Catholics and this was more than just a long term hobby to relieve the boredom of being underground. This was an act of worship.

My neighbor said there was a city underground at the salt mines here (in Detroit). I thought she was telling me a tall tale, but maybe not.
Cool looking Cathedral.

There's also a salt "cathedral" (no bishop, so not really a cathedral) in Colombia in the town of Zipaquira, near Bogota. I'd post pictures, but I haven't posted enough here to do that! Here's a link to the wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Cathedral_of_Zipaquir%C3%A1
