The saline consists of 14 rooms, in the form of a trapeze, having an opening at the base of 32 metres, the tray, 10 metres and a height of 45 metres. The excavated space is 2.9 million cubic metres of salt. Underground is also a sanatorium for asthmatic patients who are provided specialised medical care.

Inside salt mine we visit the Supernova Planetarium which is the largest and most performant planetarium in Romania with the largest spherical screen of 16 m diameter, max. 200 seats, 4K laser projectors, super-ergonomic armchairs. We look forward to the most fascinating immersive experience in Romania.
Vulcanii Noroiosi (Muddy Volcanoes)
  • 5h
Muddy Vulcanoes is a geological and botanical reservation located in Buzău County in Romania. Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few metres high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases. As the gases erupt from 3000 metres deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clayand water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.
