These treatments, and others known as subterraneotherapy, can still be experienced by visitors today at the modern Wieliczka Salt Mine Health Resort. Feliks Boczkowski, opened the first health resort in the area, featuring underground saline baths, salt mud treatments and steam inhalations. On June 10, 1772, after the Austrian army occupied the area, the original saltworks ceased production, reopening as the Wieliczka Salt Mine, alongside the Bochnia Salt Mine. At its height of production in the early 16th to mid 17th centuries, the saltwork's crew of about 2,000 people mined about 30,000 tons of the mineral each year. Up through this point, the mine was called the Old-Polish Krakow Saltworks.

The first shafts for the mine itself were dug in the 1200s, and shortly thereafter the Saltworks Castle was constructed, which remained the mine's main office until 1945. Salt manufacturing first began at the Wieliczka mine as early as the 10th century, when medieval settlements put down their roots in the area. 14 aluminum ore veins - Six around the main pit, four over the edge of the southwestern cliff and four on top of the cliff on the main pit, northeast on the map from the site marker.Ībandoned mine shaft 1 appears in Fallout 76.A post shared by Elijah M Freeman on at 11:43pm PST.22 blight plants - Between the site and AMS testing site.Fusion core - On a box inside the hut, near the east entrance.The structure contains a glowing mass of unknown composition that spews smoke and embers into the air and is highly radioactive.
