    Since centuries the Wieliczka Salt Mine has been open to visitors. Many-year collaboration with the Polish and world universities and research institutes, and also growing popularity of the active tourism, led to the opening of undergrounds excavation chambers off the existing regular tourist route. In spring of 2009 the decision about preparing the route for the specialists' groups was made. The route illustrates different methods of salt excavation with interesting exposures of the salt deposit geological structure. Finally, the new ca. 3400-m long route leads along levels I, II and III of the central and eastern part of the mine. The paper describes geological and mining aspects presented to visitors. It also explains the hydrological conditions and presents attractive locations of the halite re-crystallization sites.
