The mine itself is crazy. Really incredible. The first impact really leaves you breathless. It is accessed by minibuses from a few seats and descends to about 180 meters through narrow tunnels (so I do not recommend it to those suffering from claustrophobia) and you find yourself, once past the access gate, in front of a truly out of the ordinary panorama. The “problem” is that it ends there. You are a bit left to yourself, for 2 hours in a mine. Yes, there are photos taken by local photographers, reconstructions of machinery, a miniature golf course and a shop, but it really ends there. It would be nice to have a Guide explaining the history of the mine or for the space available to be used in a more useful or creative way. We were a bit disappointed.

Absolutely incredible. You have to be there in person to really appreciate its beauty. The caverns are just humongous. I cannot believe that 200 meters under ground there are basketball hoops, race carts, a cafe with wifi, bouncy castle, and a place to stay if you suffer with respiratory issues. They really have done as much as they possibly could for people to make the most out of their experience. The patterns on the walls are incredible too, it looks like art. Apparently, there used to be a lift that would take you down but now you enter the mines by mini vans, which you have to queue for a short while after you book the tickets. There are merchandise stalls outside too.

At a depth of 208 meters you enter the salt mine with a frequent service of minibuses that run a long helical tunnel that creeps into the bowels of the earth. At the entrance the show is really impressive: 14 trapezoidal Listing chambers with impressive dimensions The air enriched with sodium ions is an experience that many consider beneficial for breathing, so much so that it is also an underground wellness refuge; inside there is also a small history museum and several sports fields: volleyball, handball, tennis and soccer, a play area for children, karting and mechanical games. The only flaw, for a geology enthusiast like me, the poor indications on the various characteristics of the site (structure, texture, crystallization mode) and on the methods of excavation of the mine

The enormity of the largest salt mine in Europe cannot be adequately conveyed via pictures. One must travel into this mine to witness its size. Almost 1,000,000,000 tons of salt were extracted from this mine until production ended in 1970.
