Salt Mines - Healthy environment ?

Im not a doctor but if you believe the tour guide, the air is very theraputic, also its a good cure for a hangover.

yes, there's a clinic down there for people with all sorts of allergy-related and respiratory illnesses.

I would think it would be perfect for asthma sufferers - only thing to remember is that you have to walk a lot and go down a lot of stairs, so if physical exertion can cause the onset of an asthma attack, you should think about this too... though I'm not a doctor...

Many thanks for your prompt responses, excuse my ignorance I could not work out whether the atmosphere would affect breathing ! ! Lots of stairs no problem, although I did read that a Welsh Miner thought the stairs were dangerous ! !

you may purchase at an extra cost a pass to take the lift down into the mind and avoid the stairs (the pass for the lift up is included in regular ticket prices). this tour is excellent for anyone suffering from respiratory problems. to book a tour with transportation from your hotel in Krakow have a look at http://www.Krakow-Tours.com
