For someone whose experience with salt is limited to the finely ground white substance in little shakers atop dinner tables, entering a subterranean cave carved from a solid block of salt is amazing. And that is exactly the experience one gets in the salt mines of Wieliczka, a UNESCO-listed site just outside of Kraków. At the salt mine, sculptures of salt by the miners are displayed. Given the dangers of their trade and their Catholicism, many of the sculptures are religious in theme. They do pay tribute, however, to one of the greatest minds ever born, Nicolas Copernicus, who came from Poland.
