Salina Turda, a stunning underground salt mine located in Cluj County, Romania, is preparing for an exciting expansion that promises to enhance its appeal. The project, valued at €25 million and funded by European funds, will breathe new life into this extraordinary destination, which has already captivated visitors from around the globe.
Recently, Salina Turda has attracted the attention of international journalists, with a photo report published by a leading news agency in China highlighting its unique features. Over 70% of the visitors in recent years have been foreign tourists, demonstrating the site's growing popularity on the world stage.
The expansion plans include the reopening of the Iosif Mine and the construction of a connecting tunnel to the Terezia Mine.
