Overview

This is a private tour to the largest salt mine in Romania, which is Slanic Prahova.
We take you from your hotel and we drive for an hour and a half to the Salt Mine.
Here we will enter under the ground (200 meters difference in level).
We will see the largest salt deposit in Romania that was mined in the 19th century.
This place is highly recommended for those who have respiratory problems. The air in the mine helps to cure some lung diseases.
Inside you will find the biggest planetarium in Romania, with a dome with a diameter at 16 meters and laser projection system (4k) of 24.000 lumens.

After we get out of the mine we will have lunch and then we will travel through the Carpathian hills to the Berca Muddy Volcanoes wich is a geological and botanical reservation located in Buzău County.

The most spectacular feature is small volcano-shaped structures typically a few metres high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases.

Unirea Salt Mine

Slanic Prahova Saline is the largest salt mine in Europe. Now the old mine is currently open to the general public, being used as a leisure place.
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.

Vulcanii Noroiosi (Muddy Volcanoes)

Muddy Vulcanoes is a geological and botanical reservation located in Buzău County in Romania.
Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few metres high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases.
As the gases erupt from 3000 metres deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clayand water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.
