“The palace of salt, the fortress of rock”

Get ready to discover two of the most spectacular tourist attractions in Romania: the Turda Gorge and the ancient salt mines of Turda.

Salt has been extracted out of the hills of Turda for more than two millennia, while the mines here have continuously produced salt from the middle-ages, up to 1932. The chambers, tunnels and galleries form into a palace of salt hundreds of meters into the guts of the earth. After being refurbished, in 2008, the mines of Turda became a main tourist attraction, and a must-see for anyone passing through these parts.

A few kilometers away, however, another monumental site is found: the Turda Gorge. The nature reserve of Turda Gorge is truly impressive and will worth your while. The trail we follow goes by the river, through the gorge, and will reveal a unique and superb overview.

Difficulty of the trail: Moderate (4 hours with 500 meters elevation, and some steep short sections which require the use of hands for advancement).

Transportation: We will leave from Cluj-Napoca, and return to the city by private car or minibus (depending on the size of the group)
