This morning after breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the morning exploring the amazing Wieliczka Salt Mines on a private journey. It is a great experience to take part in an evening tour of the medieval galleries and halls hewn in rock and salt deposits. The world famous Wieliczka salt mine, whose beginnings date back to the Middle Ages, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. The Chapel of St. Kinga is especially beautiful, and, thanks to its dimensions, is perhaps more deserving of being called an underground salt church. In the evening, you will visit at one of the beekeeping farms. A local producer will show you around and talk about the honey.
