Over many centuries, the mine had been crucial for the economy of Poland.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, visited by about 1.2 million people every year. It features 26 shafts, 245km of labyrinthine passageways and over 2000 chambers hollowed out in salt rock.
