Salina Turda (Wikipedia page)
Salina Turda is a salt mine in the Durgău-Valea Sărată area of Turda, the second largest city in Cluj County, northwest Transylvania. Opened for tourists in 1992, the Salina Turda mine was visited by about 618,000 Romanian and foreign tourists in 2017.
Most of the place is more of a museum anyway. The one time I visited I mostly remember it being humid and having a surprising amount of unexpected temperature changes in different places. It's definitely a sight, though.
I’m very surprised that a salt mine feels humid. Am I missing something, or shouldn’t salt absorb moisture really well? Did you by any chance ask why it was humid?
I did not, but I took the liberty to assume the huge indoor lake with rowboats in it may have had something to do with that.
Joking aside, I don't know if that was natural or a byproduct of mining, but there is a lot of water in there, to the point where there are salt stalactites all over the place and everything is covered in a thin layer of goopy brine. The entire place looks... slick.
Like I said, it's a sight.
Ah, that explains the extensive use of wood and plastic. That environment would be a nightmare for anything made of steel.
that looks dope
