Like so many things in our mostly comfortable lives, we tend to take things for granted – especially those that we usually don’t think about much. Salt is one of those things. It is ever-present, plentiful and within reach. But, like many such “givens,” do you ever wonder about salt?
About 100 kilometers from Bucharest and 44 kilometers from Ploiesti, the Slanic Prahova salt mine is a recognized destination for balneal and touristic activities since 1853, when it was declared a tourist destination of national interest in Romania.
The 14 underground rooms have an opening of 10 meters to the ceiling, 32 meters wide at the bottom, and the height is 54 meters. The depth of the salt mine is 208 meters. The impressive dimensions granted it the title of the largest salt mine in Europe.
