What it feels like
Cold air, drip of water, the strange quiet of underground. The kind of place that makes you whisper without meaning to.
The salt mine at Coștiui, worked without interruption from the 9th century until 1992, has spectacular galleries 250 m deep. Its therapeutic saline microclimate and salt crystal formations make it a less crowded alternative to Salina Turda.
