نص القطعة
1-According to a 700-year-old epic, while fighting the giants, a great princess dropped her ring into a salt mine at the battlefield at Marmaros in Hungary. After victory, on her way back home, she stopped at Weiliczka and told her servants to dig a well. Instead of water, salt was discovered and in the first lump of salt, which was taken out, princess’ ring was found. 2-The story was mentioned in different cultures in different ways. Although the legend is a story but it is true that for over seven centuries, salt has been mined from the rock below the town of Weiliczka. 3-The constant danger made the miners deeply religious and chapels were constructed underground where church services were held. After a chapel was destroyed by fire in 1960, miners were not allowed to take wooden statues into the mine, so they began to carve sculpture from rock salt. 4- Nowadays visitors are shown how salt was mined long ago. They can also see pretty green lakes, and chapels with beautiful carvings.
