An extraordinary, and somewhat suggestive, journey into an underground world… in Transylvania.
Do not expect vampires and bats but an incredible mine, since 2010, historical monument of the national cultural heritage of Romania. A short distance from Cluj Napoca
A journey through paths and underground paths, hidden from the human eye. Mines await you, and an ancient winch with which, in the 19th century, salt was extracted.
The current appearance is due to the recent modernization operations. Today, the Salina Turda is a mining museum, halotherapy tourist center and amusement park!
Romania is also confirmed as one of the favorite locations for directors and screenwriters. Salina Turda was not exempt either, hosting the filming of the Thriller “Nameless” in 2014.
