Auschwitz and the Salt Mines: Reflection on Their Historical Significance
A trip to Auschwitz is that visit that is not "easy," but it has become one of the essential things to do in Poland and an excursion that we should all do at least once in our lifetime. Walking along the train tracks that transported prisoners to the Auschwitz I concentration camp and Birkenau is walking through the history of the 20th century. Understanding what the place where the Holocaust occurred was like is becoming aware of the barbarity of humankind. Because visiting Auschwitz is a lesson in life.
"Wieliczka is the only salt mine in the world that has been in operation since the Middle Ages"
And if a tour of Auschwitz is that must-do excursion from Krakow, then visiting the salt mines of Wieliczka is as well. 300 km of underground galleries made entirely of salt, emerald water lakes, chapels, and 3,000 chambers are just a few of the secrets this authentic natural wonder holds. Learn all about the extraction of white gold and be amazed by the incredible structures carved into the salt itself. And above all, be astounded by its highlight: the Chapel of Saint Kinga, a 54-meter chamber adorned with large chandeliers and reliefs sculpted into its salty walls. An amazing place! Are you coming to see it?
Rafael Sobrino
With more than fifty countries explored, my passion for authentic adventures and my experience in leading exploration trips make me a unique guide for those looking to go beyond the known. In every expedition, I seek to forge genuine bonds with people and their traditions, guided by deep empathy and respect. My intuition for choosing less explored routes makes each journey with me a living narrative and an odyssey of personal and collective discovery.
