Slănic Prahova Saline is located at a depth of 208m, on an area of 53,000sqm and was opened for visit after 1970. The saline consists of 14 rooms, in the form of a trapeze, having an opening at the base of 32 meters, the tray, 10 meters and a height of 45 meters. The excavated space is 2.9 million cubic meters of salt. Underground is also a sanatorium for asthmatic patients who are provided specialized medical care.

Berca Mud Volcanoes

The Muddy Volcanoes in Buzau county are a rare geological wonder, hidden behind Buzau mountains - they are not your regular volcanoes but rather large mud bubbles, which are formed by the earth’s natural gas erupting and leaving behind crater-shaped forms of thick clay-like mud.

Muddy volcanoes are extremely rare in Europe, which makes the Romanian muddy volcanoes a curious site, guaranteeing intrigue to any visitor - they give the area a “lunar tone”, and coupled with the lack of vegetation, the landscapes offer an amazing “out of this world” impression.
