It does not become clear, why the Salt Mine was delisted from the Unesco World Heritages. 83.135.132.219 12:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

mining activity. http://www.cyf-kr.edu.pl/krakow_i_okolice/?a=guide In 1996 the rock salt exploitation in the Wieliczka Salt Mine was stopped. At present salt is only produced from brine (saline water) in Modern Saline Water Utilisation Plant. On the market are: iodic salt, "Salvita" salt, dietetic salt for people with high blood pressure, salt tablets, "Kinga" bath salt, "Regis" foot salt, and feed supplements for animals - "Wisole".

Events

[edit]

"The mine has contained more than trains—it has a ferryboat (that once capsized, killing a number of drunken soldiers) and the Staszica chamber, thirty-six meters high, has seen both bungee jumping and a hot-air balloon ascent. This was apparently the first underground hot-air balloon flight (it might also be the last, I wasn't able to ascertain this: try googling "underground hot air balloon" yourself and you'll see what I mean). "

It seems the worlds first underground hot air balloon flight was in Croatia, in a cave, not a salt mine.

Article needs a section on history

[edit]

Right now it reads like a tour guide with very little historical information on how and why it was deemed UNESCO worthy. Please expand this aspect for the general reader. --184.97.150.154 (talk) 17:49, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
