56. Poland - Underground Visiting the Wieliczka Salt Mine, Cracow Saltworks Museum, and Graduation Tower

Everything is covered in salt:  the stairs, the walls, the statues, and the chandeliers hanging above are covered in salt crystals.  We travel to Poland this week and walk down at least 320 stairs to explore the Wieliczka Salt Mine. While we are underground, we join the next tour group and visit the Cracow Saltworks Museum (Muzeum Żup Krakowskich Wieliczka), the largest underground museum in Europe. Once we exit the mine, we stop by the Graduation Tower (Tężnia Solankowa) to relax and breathe in the fresh salty air.
