This trip is for lovers of gold and the macabre. 200 kilometres west of Krakow is Poland’s only gold mine, Złoty Stok, which dates back to medieval times. From then until recent times over 300 kilometres of tunnels, shafts and galleries on twenty-one levels were excavated. Available to tourists are the best preserved and most attractive sections which include eight meter high underground waterfall and an underground boat ride.
50 kilometres to the west is one of the biggest attractions in Europe, the Chapel of Skulls, whose walls and ceiling are decorated with real human skulls and bones. There are three thousand skulls in the Chapel and a further twenty-one thousand can be found in the crypt below. Builded between 1776-1804, the Chapel of Skulls attracts visitors from far and wide.
