M43***18:“In-depth review of Turda Salt Mine (Salina Turda) attractions
Unique experience and landscapes
Underground wonders: This medieval salt mine (mined from 1075 to 19321) has been transformed into the "coolest underground landscape" that combines a museum, amusement park and sanatorium1. The mine is divided into two levels, with a golf course, theater and sports field on the upper level, and a Ferris wheel (65 feet high), underground lake boating (rental for 3 euros1) and an arena on the lower level12.
Sci-fi atmosphere: Stalactites, deep tunnels and preserved mining equipment (such as wooden extractors1) create a movie-like scene, and a panoramic elevator offers a panoramic view of the mine34.
Health care: The slightly salty air with a constant temperature of 11°C and 80% humidity is good for the lungs, and some residents even use treadmills to exercise here24.
Highlights of the tour
Must-do activities: Ferris wheel, underground lake boating, mini golf23. Featured pits:
Rudolf Mine: The largest pit (138 feet deep), with a bowling alley and an amusement park13.
Trezia Mine: The deepest (393 feet), with a salt island in the middle of the lake for boating13.
Joseph Mine: A natural "echo chamber"1.
Practical information
Tickets and time: 60 lei (about 13 euros), open from 9:00 to 17:003.
Transportation suggestions:
Drive or take a taxi from Cluj (40 minutes); or take a bus to Turda (45 minutes, 15 lei), and then take a taxi to the salt mine34.
Notes:
You need to bring a coat in summer34; there is no restaurant in the mine, it is recommended to bring your own snacks4.
Claustrophobic patients should be careful1.
Tourist comments
“Like entering a sci-fi movie!”4 “The combination of the Ferris wheel and the salt lake is extremely shocking.”23 Some tourists mentioned that the town is inconvenient for transportation and suggested planning the return trip in advance4.
Summary: Turda Salt Mine is a miracle of the combination of nature and man-made, suitable for tourists who pursue novel experiences and photography, but they need to pay attention to keeping warm and arranging transportation. If you come to Romania, it is definitely worth a special visit”
