The Kłodawa Salt Mine (Polish: ''Kopalnia Soli Kłodawa'', ''KSK'') is the biggest operating salt mine in Poland. It is located in Kłodawa, Koło County, Greater Poland Voivodship. History In 1939 Polish professor Edward Walery Janczewski discovered geological layer of salt between Izbica Kujawska and Solca Wielka. It was 63 kilometres long and 4 kilometres wide. First drillings were done during German occupation of Poland and it was realized that Kłodawa is the best place to build a salt mine; it was also said that Izbica Kujawska had a good salt supply, but much smaller than Kłodawa. The first two mineshafts (called ''Michał'' and ''Barbara'', – named after the first director of the mine and Saint Barbara), were built from 1950 to 1954. The salt has been drilled since 1956. Until 1966 horses were the main way to drill the salt, in this year the electronic traction drive was built. The third mineshaft, located about 4 kilometres from Michał and Barbara, is named ''Chr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Salt is one of the oldest and most ubiquitous food seasonings, and is known to uniformly improve the taste perception of food, including otherwise unpalatable food. Salting, brining, and pickling are also ancient and important methods of food preservation.
