King Casimir III the Great

Carved into Salt in the Mines of Wieliczka

During the last day of @steemfest 3 in Kraków, Poland, we trekked through the Salt Mine's of Wieliczka to arrive at our closing dinner. The Mines of Wieliczka began producing salt in the 13th century and is rich with history. We walked along a small portion of the 2.2 mile touring route (which is less than 2% of the length of the mine's total passages). Along the way we saw intricate statues and monuments carved into the rock salt to honor mythical figures and fallen miners. Here is a statue of King Casimir III, the King of Poland from 1333-1370. He is known for bringing wealth and prosperity to a kingdom weakened by war.
