Amazing Wieliczka Salt Mine

A couple of days ago I went with my family to visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine near Krakow. Going down into the tunnels felt like stepping back in time — endless corridors, glittering salt walls, and even chapels carved deep underground. The Chapel of St. Kinga was the highlight, almost like a cathedral hidden below the earth. It was fascinating to see how a working mine turned into such an incredible place.

A pleasant evening in Krakow

Last night my colleagues joined me in a walk to the city center of Krakow, where I wanted to look for a present at the old city market. There were flocks of tourists in the old town, but on the other hand the weather was quite pleasant so it was nice to walk around.
