Salina Slănic Prahova

The Slănic Prahova Salt Mine is one of the largest and most spectacular salt mines in Europe, set in the town of Slănic in Prahova County, at the base of the sub-Carpathian hills. Salt extraction in this area has a long history, and the visitable galleries, of which the best known is the Unirea Mine, impress with their colossal dimensions, ceilings dozens of metres high and massive walls of grey salt shaped by the manual mining of the past. At great depth, the clean air, rich in salt particles, is considered beneficial for respiratory conditions, which is why the mine also works as a treatment and leisure centre. In the underground space visitors find wide alleys, sculptures and reliefs carved in salt, a small museum, playgrounds and relaxation areas, in a unique setting with a constant temperature all year round. The salt mine is an attraction suitable for all ages. Visitors are advised to wear a warmer layer because of the coolness underground and to check the descent schedule.
