Salt Mines
... carved once the area was mined and cleared out. The miners always carved small chapels within the mines for a place to pray and take comfort in. The Chapel St. Kinga is by far the largest chapel within this salt mine.

After a shower and rest, we had dinner at Maxim's. We highly recommend this restaurant to you all, a menu packed with wonderful food choices and even better prices.
