Most of the place is more of a museum anyway. The one time I visited I mostly remember it being humid and having a surprising amount of unexpected temperature changes in different places. It's definitely a sight, though.
I’m very surprised that a salt mine feels humid. Am I missing something, or shouldn’t salt absorb moisture really well? Did you by any chance ask why it was humid?
I did not, but I took the liberty to assume the huge indoor lake with rowboats in it may have had something to do with that.
Joking aside, I don't know if that was natural or a byproduct of mining, but there is a lot of water in there, to the point where there are salt stalactites all over the place and everything is covered in a thin layer of goopy brine. The entire place looks... slick.
Like I said, it's a sight.
Ah, that explains the extensive use of wood and plastic. That environment would be a nightmare for anything made of steel.
that looks dope
