    Legend of how the saltmine was discovered
    SaltThe last supper sculpture in the churchChurchUnderground lake 9 metres deep, supersaturated with salt

    Amazing tour of the saltmine. We went to 135 metres underground and there was still another few levels below that to 300 metres!!!
    Their salt is a natural grey colour due to "healthy other minerals and substances".
    There were truly amazing salt sculptures including the floor tiles, magnificent underground church, statues.
    Horses were kept underground when it was a working mine, complete with carved out stables.
