Our guided tour gives you the only opportunity of spending an unforgettable time exploring magnificent salt chambers, statues, underground lakes and chapels, including the biggest underground chapel made of salt in the world. 135 m below the ground you can have a break for a cup of coffee in the restaurant, some souvenir shopping, or mailing a postcard from the underground post office. Then a lift takes you back to the surface.

If some of the guests may have difficulties with descending so many steps, please inform us in advance – we will arrange a lift (for an extra fee) to carry them down to the first level of the Salt Mine (there will be only 400 steps left).
