The mine produced table salt for hundreds of years until 1932. Then was closed for short period to The World War II. During the war it had been used as a shelter. After war up to the year of 1992, when mine was opened to the public and got a status of tourist attraction it had been used as a warehouse for cheese storage.
The mine has constant temperature of 10 – 12°C, so in the summertime put your clothes on and drop them during a winter visit.
