Touristic Salt Mine

Enter the depths and live the spectacle. Walk on the magical land in the depths of Transylvania.

Now, underground, but several millions of years ago, under water. As in Prehistoric times, millions of years ago, Transylvania was covered by an immense sea. The present Transylvanian Basin is a sedimentary basin that was formed through a slow and continuous sinking, thus creating a continental type of sea. Millions of years later, the waters evaporated and left behind an impressive layer of salt, which spreads across the entire subsoil of Transylvania, with an average thickness of about 400 m. So, the salt from Turda Salt Mine dates back to prehistory, a treasure left behind by time.

From the Echo Chamber, visiting the “Crivac’s” Room, we descend on the Stairway of the Rich into Rudolf Mine, where Turda Salt Mine lets itself discovered entirely. You are welcomed by a series of activities that will make you want to stay in this space of good. Theresa Mine continues the experience, hosting a “salty waterfall”, an underground lake, stalactites, and salt efflorescence.

The spectacle of nature and the magical legends of forgotten times are sought by tourists who want to experience, to feel the uniqueness and the unprecedented in a healthy environment – which opens up great perspectives of relaxation for you.

A magical and unique world in the depths of Transylvania.
