Salt – “white gold” – for centuries the most important means of payment in Poland. The source of this “gold” can be found 10 km east of Cracow. Many of the shafts and chambers you pass through have been decorated with wonderful sculptures carved into the salt. This mine is also the home of the friendly spirit “The Treasurer“, perhaps you will meet him if you descend as for as the shaft bottom III (135 m below ground). Misterious underground lakes, spiral staircases, bridges, light refracting the salt crystals, the exquisitely gleaming sculptures and reliefs draw you into a fascinating fantasy world of make-believe. Experienced former miners guide you safely through the labyrinth. In 1978 the Wieliczka Salt Mine was entered in the UNESCO World Cultural and National Heritage List. Please wear sturdy shoes.

The Black Madonna – The History of the Polish Church
When visiting the Jasna Gora cloister you pass through the main entrance into the Basilica of the Holy Cross and the Birth of Mary. Fires, destruction and reconstructions have altered the church time and again. The church is magnificent in its decorations and full of light. Even the late-baroque main altar from the years 1725 - 1728, which illustrates the assumption into heaven of the Virgin Mary, glows in gleaming white light. In the left wing of the basilica there is an altar with the image of the Black Madonna (1650). In addition you may visit the treasure chamber of the cloister – built in the years 1649 - 1653 – and the armory with a collection of historical weapons and military votive gifts. The museum dedicated to its 600 years’ existence houses valuable artefacts that tell the history of the Pauline Friars.

In the year 1960 coal was discovered in the Belchatów region (the estimated amount: 2.000.000.000 tonnes). In 1975 it was decided to extract the coal, initial work commenced five years later. The first block was put into operation in 1980. Full capacity was reached in 1988. Belchatow is the largest power station that is fired with brown coal. The installed power amounts to 15% of the installed energy in Poland and produces 20% of the total energy supply. It is the cheapest energy supply in Poland. There are six installations for the removal of sulphur from the flue gases (IOS) (target is 8). This fulfils all the standards and requirements for the protection of the environment. The Belchatów power station blocks operate in the country’s power supply system. The national energy configuration (KDM), within the requency and system energy regulations, sends target output signals for power to each of the blocks – between 290 - 360 MW. From May 2000 in addition to PSE (grid perator) the Belchatów current will also supplied to five power distributors from the West group and Stoen. During the guided tour the participants will also have the pportunity not only to see the most important departments but also to discuss important problems regarding the nature of Polish power generation in Poland during a meeting with plant managers.
