Ocna Sibiului Salt Lakes

We four went to Ocna Sibiului to enjoy the rejuvenating effects of Romania’s salt lakes (11 in total) while relaxing in the sun. The salt lakes are a product of abandoned salt mines back as the 1700’s. The opacity of the water also creates a great heliothermic effect, meaning that the water traps the sun’s heat leaving the water a comfortably warm temperature and keep our bodies floating. People come to the salt lakes to treat arthritis and cover with mud to smoothen their skin. After we came back to the hostel, I cook ginger chicken with red pepper and cabbage with fried noodles for the group. — checked in to Ocna Sibiului with Alejandro Pérez and Berit Lehr.
