Salt Mine of Turda

We took a bus to visit the Salt Mine of Turda, yet skipped the Turda Gorge natural reservation due to the heavy rain. The Turda salt mine is cold (10c), huge and offers ferries wheel (12 stories deep) rides, boat rides, mini golf, etc. therein. The main conical chamber is 112 meters deep with 67 meters at the base. Because its shape and lack of communications with the other major mining points this mine has a powerful sound echo. The underground lake is between 0.5 and 8 m deep and the center of the lake is an island formed from residual salt deposited. I visited several huge salt mines, but only this one has scifi feel. Salina Turda was ranked by Business Insider as the most beautiful underground place in the world, and ranked 22 among the most spectacular tourist destinations in the world. — checked in to Salina Turda.
