A good trip to a historic salt mine - The trip was well organised as we were picked up promptly from a central, easy to find location. There were about 14 on this tour. The driver wasn't a guide as such but he was nice and helpful, offering a coffee break and then a short lunch break after the visit. The salt mine was a spectacle, like a palace or a corporate headquarters, 208 meters underground and there was decent WiFi! As well as the exhibition, there was a lovely atmospheric cafe serving good real coffee (not too expensive), and the expected salt sculptures and old mining machinery. It was comfortably cool at around 13 degrees. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend it as an interesting day trip.

Amazing Mines - Amazing Mines very well kept all facilities provided within very unusual experience, must visit site. For elderly visitors there should be a coffee place at the ground level as it is very didficult for them to climb the stairs to go to the coffee shop, also provision of self driven wheel chairs
