Detailed itinerary

We visit the Unirea Salt Mine from Slanic - Prahova, the largest salt mine in Europe, located 208 m under the ground. Inside the mine you can find a small history museum, a soccer field, a children's playground and many other interesting things. It is breathtaking to be walking inside the mine; there are just a few places in the world where you can admire such a huge underground structure! The height of the main gallery is 54 m. You could fit an 18 story building inside!
Please note - certain times of the year the salt mines are closed on a Tuesday, too. Please check about this by sending us a message. Thank you
