Schindler's Factory

After yesterday we needed something a bit more hopeful. The Fabryka Oskara Schindlera Emalia filled that bill nicely.
About to hop a train from Kraków to Budapest, Hungary. Catch you guys there.

There's no shortage of amazing architecture in Kraków. Here you see the statuary from Kościół śś. Piotra i Pawła w Krakowie (completed in 1619) in the foreground, with the Kościół św. Andrzeja w Krakowie (completed in 1098) right next door....
salt gnomes at work

You wouldn't normally think that a salt mine would qualify as a must-see location, but if you're in the Kraków, Poland, area the Wieliczka Salt Mine that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
tyrsalvia and I visited Friday certainly qualifies.
The mine has been in continuous operation since the 13th century, and still is producing table salt today. The mine stretches to a depth of 327 meters and is more than 300 km long.
In addition to its ancient purpose as a mine, Wieliczka features a 3.5 km tourist route lined with statues of historical and mythical figures, all of them sculptured out of salt by miners.

BTW, I lied in my last post. We're going to Auschwitz tomorrow; there's been so much to do here in Kraków that we'll be departing on Monday night for Budapest, instead of tomorrow night as originally planned....
