I went to the salt mine based on your video. Was an outstanding tour lasting almost 3 hours, I was blown away by how beautiful it was. Interesting from start to finish. Thank you for your continual excellence in showing us the world. You are still the best You Tube vlogger and it's not even close.
When I went there, they had an impressive music and light presentation in the chapel. It was plunged into darkness and then, to the sound of a classical piece of music, various lights illuminated different features until the chapel was fully lit again.
Love this video. Showing what is unique to this area. The food, view out the windows, the conversation with the man, then, of course the tour. It's like I was there with you. Thank you!! 💓💕
Very slowly making my way through all your recent uploads! :) So I have family in Poland and we visited Krakow and the salt mine when I was in middle school, and watching this now in my late 20’s is just flooding me with so many happy memories. Awesome upload, I’m so happy Poland treated you well, hopefully in the future you can visit more! I hope to go back someday soon too :)
We toured the Salt Mine and it was incredible! We had 3 in our tour overcome by claustrophobia have to leave, when we got to the bottom of the stairs. However it’s a must do when visiting Krakow! Great video thanks for bringing us back! ~Cara 😊
Wow. Thank you for filming the salt mines. I didn’t tour because I couldn’t do the steps. These figures, chapel, and chandelier are carved all out of salt is my understanding.
I was there a few years ago, did Auschwtz in the morning and salt mines in afternoon, very tiring but so worth it. My legs were like jelly after going down the steps 😃 I was amazed that even the chandeliers were made out of salt. Very clever
Oh wow...love this video! We were there in 2019 and it was magnificent! Oh yeah and after we got out we were caught in heavy rain but we sat outside under these huge umbrellas. Brings back nice memories. Real nice video Gabe.
Howdy Gabe,thanks a lot for sharing yet another superb video here which I thoroughly enjoyed watching as always when coming from you.Not only are your videos a sheer joy to view because of the various locations and the beautiful landscapes they show but also very instructive thanks to your nice comments. Just keep the ball rolling buddy,your efforts are highly appreciated here.Best wishes and cordial greetings from William in Bruges(the so-called 'Venice of the North),in Flanders, Belgium.
Thanks for showing us around Gabriel. Watching your videos gave me motivation to start documenting my travels and in 2 weeks I will be traveling throughout Honduras. Hoping to be able to capture the essence of a place as well as you do.
I've been here many times as my husband is from Krakow and we visit every 2 years, ( or did preCovid, we are locked in Australia right now). Krakow is like a second home and I miss it so much.
When you're back in Europe I would recommend a trip to the village and salt mine in Hallstatt, Austria. Due to Covid travel bans, it should have far fewer tourists. It's normally swamped by visitors every year.
Thanks for the salt mine tour, Gabriel. We visited there a few years ago but I don't remember seeing the large dining area and restaurant. I do remember taking the miner elevator back up to the top though. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing video. It seems like you know very well how to catch enough light with your camera in some of these dark places. ;) I always say that these Wieliczka Salt Mines are really unique in all ways, from nature to art. As for art, I saw many things in Europe and Egypt and comparably impressive were for me only mosaics in Ravenna, Italy, and some hieroglyphs in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. Have a nice time in Ireland now and I hope that you really had a great time in Poland overall.
Gabriel - Love your videos! It is always interesting to compare and contrast your experiences with ours. I find your choice of music to accompany your videos' makes a significant impact on the feel and impact on your viewers. We did not find the Salt Mines "Strange" until we viewed this video with your added music and commentary. Keep the great content coming!
Hey Gabriel, Wonderful video and your gave me one more place to put on my bucket list. Lol it looks like it would be a very educational tour and well worth the trip. I didn't catch how long it took or maybe you didn't say but it would be a good idea to know if you could. Be looking forward to your next video my friend.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thank you my friend, I wanted to let you know they are starting to open up Thailand to Fournier"s if you are interested in coming this way but you can't get a visa on arrival any more and on top of that you have a lot more paperwork you have to do. They will tell you at the embassy or the consulate. I would love to show you around.
Interesting that you ended the video abruptly and did not comment about your salt mine experirnce. I knew a Scottish couple that came to Krakow and had their wedding in the salt mine chappel. I was in Krakow, but did not attend the wedding. Just watching your video gave me claustrophobic anxiety! The thought of being trapped deeply underground with a bunch of tourists-ugh
you said Rynek very well but we pronounce ł as you would w and ó (or u its the same phonetically) as you would oo so it would be like gwoovny if that makes sense :D glad you liked in Poland !
Hi Gabriel, How critical is salt in your diet how about a thousand years ago critical for food preservation work production worth its weight in gold. We take this element for granted today because it's everywhere.
There are two shafts available for tourists, you have seen only one. I have seen both, total 3 visits. 40 years ago the tour was longer than it is now.
Gabe, I hope that you will visit Warsaw. It too, is awesome on many counts. Also, the countryside around Częstochowa is lovely too. Częstochowa is not all THAT far away from where you are either! Might make a nice half--day trip, or so?
You make some great videos Gabriel. I'm sure the Polish Tourist Board will appreciate this too :D Pretty sure we have to show a vaccination cert to get in though looking at the travel advice website. I notice you are able to avoid the Quarantine which many countries still seem to have in place depending on which passport one holds or country starting from.
They didn't ask for my vaccination card when I arrived in Poland, but they did ask for a Covid test, which I had. It might be one or another. I wasn't sure myself, so I got a test just in case.
Good morning from Pakistan Gabriel this is one of your one MORE beautiful video on You-Tube displayed on your Channel, Dear I today I did shared on Face Book because it is something to share and May God bless you more so Gabriel kindly PRAY for my family and for me to May we Visit too, Dear Gabriel l believe PRAYERS can make everything possible thanks and stay blessed.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos cool gabe, im going to watch it soon, you would like barbados, small, friendly island, with beautiful beaches, and great rum.., I always enjoy your videos, safe travels, I owe you a 🍺, if I ever run into you...
@@jtvegas8761 There was a 6pm curfew when I was there, you had to be back in your room by 6 and couldn't go out in the evenings, all restaurants were closed. It wasn't a great time to be there, so I left early.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos yeah thats a downfall, punta cana is lame, reminds me of Florida, resorts and condos, over priced.. if you get up to las terrenas, or sousa, it's more dominican culture, and experience..
Freaking wow, the church, the sculptures, the dining room. Just a whole nother world. Well worth the cost. Thank you mate.
I love Poland. Hi from Zagreb!

Very cool, glad you enjoyed the tour. ✌
I was in Krakow a few years ago and didn't go here. I really regret it. Thanks for showing me this.
Visited a few years ago. Just outside krakow. Actually traveling thru Poland now. Great country. Ppl really friendly
Loved my tour through the mine! was summer of 2007 i was 18 years old fresh out of highschool on a 3 month euro trip. great memories in poland!
When I went there, they had an impressive music and light presentation in the chapel. It was plunged into darkness and then, to the sound of a classical piece of music, various lights illuminated different features until the chapel was fully lit again.

Yes at last you in Poland, a Beautiful country, two years ago I recommended you to visit Polska
Wow, had no idea those mines were so deep, so big. Interesting, thanks for sharing.
It it such an amazing place! I am glad you went there and made a video about it. Poland has so many hidden gems, hope you come visit again!
We toured the Salt Mine and it was incredible! We had 3 in our tour overcome by claustrophobia have to leave, when we got to the bottom of the stairs. However it’s a must do when visiting Krakow! Great video thanks for bringing us back! ~Cara 😊
Those carvings are amazing. It's hard to believe the men that made them were miners and not full time artists.
the mining company actually send some of the miners to artschool to get better at it.! i was there 2 years ago, it's awesome and worth a visit!
Welcome from Toronto. WOW !!!!!!!, what a beautiful video, that was the best film, we saw, about Salt Mine in Wieliczka, Poland. Thanks
Gabriel is my favorite tour guide✌🏽❤️
Next time I go to krakow that salt mine will be on my itinerary for sure, very nice video
Wow. Thank you for filming the salt mines. I didn’t tour because I couldn’t do the steps. These figures, chapel, and chandelier are carved all out of salt is my understanding.
The chandeliers are gorgeous in the spaces, like a fancy hotel

Wow those carvings are fantastic
Amazing video!!! The Carvings are magnificent!!!!!! All the detail involved in making these stunning carvings. What Beauty in this country❤️
What a nice video my dear. It’s just superb.
We are so thankful to you for uploading such amazing videos!!
Nicely done video, less talking during the tour, the mine carvings look amazing
Oh wow...love this video! We were there in 2019 and it was magnificent! Oh yeah and after we got out we were caught in heavy rain but we sat outside under these huge umbrellas. Brings back nice memories. Real nice video Gabe.
Really nice day spent there
@@effie-Toronto Yes it really was!! xo

I cant believe I watch all your material - keep up the good work,
I've been here many times as my husband is from Krakow and we visit every 2 years, ( or did preCovid, we are locked in Australia right now). Krakow is like a second home and I miss it so much.
I know a couple of Australians who left that country for Poland right before covid. They don't regret it.
Interesting ! Love to visit Poland !
Kraków & Wieliczka & Zakopane ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to Poland Gabriel. Finally you are visiting my home Country. I highly recommend you to visit Polish Attack mountains. Stay safe 🙏
Wonderful place. Nice creation.
Great work friend.
Wow amazing place The salt mine and Krakov is so beatiful city 😀
Amazing sights, the carvings were beautiful absolutely stunning! Food looked amazing too! Thank you Gabriel 😊❤🤗 stay safe!
Gabe really nice video I remember visiting there and I enjoyed it very much
11:04 Jesus at the last supper "Can someone pass the salt please"?

Fascinating. Am very curious regarding the geologic history of this place.
I hope they play that crazy cool music when I visit!
Ha, probably not but you never know.
Thanks for the journey! That was pretty awesome! 👍
We're touring Greece now, doing the Athens tour today.
Why strange? It's rather beautiful.
Strange can be beautiful. Not your typical salt mine, with statues and churches, etc.
Very cool
Great thumbnail
Wonderful tour. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good
It looks like something out of LOTR.
Mori :D
@@Litwinus Exactly :D
As always great job , thanks a lot Sir n again Big 👍

Wow great video Gab

It was around 4 hours total from leaving Krakow and then getting back to the city.

Great informative video !
Hi Gabriel just fact:
At the end of video girls in polish talk about organising wedding in that place.
:)
Incredible ty

Gabe... did you lick the wall?
you know he did
I am thinking not-if he did, don't you think he would have filmed himself doing so...
I got the vibe that he wanted out of there-all the people, etc.
everyone did
@@shuttze I went to this mine and I didn't lick the wall. That was before Covid. I especially wouldn't lick it now.
My son did ( his dad told him he did when he was a kid) and his tongue swelled up!
Hi Gabriel, How critical is salt in your diet how about a thousand years ago critical for food preservation work production worth its weight in gold. We take this element for granted today because it's everywhere.
I don't eat salt and nobody should abuse it high presure blood and other health issues
@@pentrubarbati Salt is a necessary element you can't function without it.
@@wilfredotorres6628 you probably believe sugar is also essential ..
@@pentrubarbati yes it is...
@@wilfredotorres6628 you have no clue about nutrition ...
There are two shafts available for tourists, you have seen only one. I have seen both, total 3 visits. 40 years ago the tour was longer than it is now.
Amazing
Now you can say "I've reached my lowest point in life!"😁
Lol 😆
Haha.
We went there pre-covid. We did auschwitz in the morning and the salt mine in afternoon.
Gabe, I hope that you will visit Warsaw. It too, is awesome on many counts. Also, the countryside around Częstochowa is lovely too. Częstochowa is not all THAT far away from where you are either! Might make a nice half--day trip, or so?
Arsome video of 🇵🇱

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Oh great -thank you for that tip. So looks like a RT-PC test is also an option.
How on earth did they carve and dig so deeply? Wow! Is there enough oxygen in there? It's unbelievable. Nice video!
Loved the intro
i bet the food in there is salted just right :)
You can go twice the depth (650 feet), with half the price ($21.00 US) for the 3-hour tour in Stratca, Kansas mine.
But its not as special as this one this is UNESCO hearitage .
Very nice❤️
If it stikes your fancy.Go to Salzburg.Some great mines there.
This place is closest thing to Moria from LOTR.
Good morning from Pakistan Gabriel this is one of your one MORE beautiful video on You-Tube displayed on your Channel, Dear I today I did shared on Face Book because it is something to share and May God bless you more so Gabriel kindly PRAY for my family and for me to May we Visit too, Dear Gabriel l believe PRAYERS can make everything possible thanks and stay blessed.
Looks impressive but unable to get the concept that in which time period this mine was actually found and being started?
See: 8:13
Got it, in 1368.
I don't agree that the Polish language is challenging. Actually is so easy that I learned it as a baby.😜
Ha, good point.
7:13 it's not a statue of the saint, This is Mikołaj Kopernik, the astronomer.
some of those carvings in the the salt mine were suspect lol
Was the journey by a taxi or organised by the tour group who took you from Krakow to the salt mines?
The ride there and back was included in the tour.
Hope you get to due a video on Portugal one day..

Looks like some kind of fantasy city carved out by dwarves 🙂
did u do vid on kaszmirez?
And they called it a mine? A mine!
Are you going to jazz concert to see Chris Botti?

"Underground salt mine"... You know, as opposed to one that's above it?
Why "strange"?

You win silver.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos well at least I have your new video to watch.
9:56 Impaling babies....hmmmm
well remember , christianity is a completely cruel way of thinking...."FOLLOW US OR GO TH HELL"
