Salina Turda
You will descend into the underground where you'll completely be surrounded by salt.
Walk on a man-made gallery, visit three mining chambers, learn about mining techniques and local urban legends. Chance to take a boat or a Ferris-wheel ride.
The visit of the mine involves climbing and descending some stairs. In total there about 500 steps to go up and down, but most of them can be avoided by taking two different elevators (time & crowd permitting).
