Also known as Shoemaker^s Shaft or Shoemaker^s Mountain Shaft; first mentioned in 1397. It is considered to be one of the first mine shafts in Poland and was sunk in the middle of the XIII century. Legend has it that in this place, when the first pieces of salt were brought to the surface, a miraculous ring was found which had belonged to Duchess Kinga, the wife of Boleslaw the Chaste – the founder of Bochnia.
