Europe's Largest Salt Mine Experience, Romania, Slanic Prahova

[@mytho_actual]

Just went there, it was freezing down there (12°C, had to wear a hoodie) and the interior was fascinating to say the least... Romania is a beautiful country.

[@swissclimber1]

LOL - it us HOT Summer and 40+' there are you are cold in the salt mine. I enjoyed Romania so much. The food was outstanding

[@johnmor]

Went there in September and wow was a fascinating place. Was amazing walking round there and feeling so small, it is well recommended. Thanks for the video

[@swissclimber1]

wha oh hi

[@isaacberesford1284]

Yes

[@marcustraore545]

The whole interior of the mine is an architectural massive piece of arts. Very impressive!

[@swissclimber1]

Thanks for comments = yes the mine is so unique

[@inapetrisor2874]

La fel de frumoasa este si salina Ocnele Mari-Valcea..are restaurant, sala de cinema, spatiu pentru expozitii de fotografii si pictura, crama, magazinute mici cu suveniruri, locuri de joaca pentru copii.......iar Biserica din interiorul salinei este superba!!...

[@swissclimber1]

Thanks for the comments.

[@Cubeman312]

Ive been here the place is Targul Ocna Romania (I think) where you have to buy tickets to get to the mine with a bus full of people. The best part is the inside where you can do many fun things.

[@swissclimber1]

Yes you can even ride bicycle and carts inside

[@hater8812]

Aici e prahova, tg ocna e in bacau

[@rafaeleduardorodriguez7677]

Targul Ocna is another salt mine, this one is Slanic Prahova, there are at least 10 salt mines with tourist attractions in Romania

[@andreistirbu2733]

Actually, is world's biggest salt mine and contiguous underground space. Turda is world's second largest salt mine by size of main space

[@swissclimber1]

Thanks for comments - good to now!

[@letalucy644]

Wow 😊

[@rizaldysangalang8931]

What did they to the salt?

[@swissclimber1]

They do not mine here anymore

[@rkr922]

How is the echo?

[@davidck1]

Yes the best salt mine newly-renovated with EU money is in Turda it's really nice

[@swissclimber1]

Ha! The stupid guidebook didn't say anything about Turda and even Rick Steeves did not mention it. Now I have to go back!

[@im_so_bored3896]

@@swissclimber1 ah rick steeves did us dirty (ok a little bit dirty, nothing compared to how anthony bourdain did his show) tbf. protrayed romania as the 'place where you can feel as outside of europe as ever without leaving the continent of europe' - i mean the guy went to a gypsy village to film tin makers....

[@thasdavin8134]

Why did they add the bird chirping?

[@swissclimber1]

To fool people that there is a bird down here LOL. I was looking for it for a few seconds but realize they added it to calm people down with a familiar sound

[@thasdavin8134]

swissclimber1 thanks for replying! I always thought it was to calm people down! It's kinda strange we need something like that when we are in an unfamiliar place. Do you think when space travel is commercialized we will hear birds soar as we break from our own atmosphere into the unknown?... Anyways, great video!!

[@aserta]

It's a psychological thing that helps with some people having issues being in an environment like this. There was an medical based article i read about it, but i can't find it anymore.

[@moria1413]

I went there a couple of times, but one time, all the lights faded out xDD

[@swissclimber1]

LOL! That is totally scarey

[@onixpyro3883]

Can you buy salt from there?

[@swissclimber1]

Great question ! I'm sure since it was so important over the hundreds of years

[@muhammadawaisdar6109]

Aoa brother in Pakistan, in our area more than 300 mines are producing world highest quality salt, one mine produce 500 Metric ton in a day. We produce more than 1.5 lac metric ton in a single day. Its the lowest production from salt aranges and ranked overall on 3rd in Pakistan salt markets.

[@swissclimber1]

Wow Thank You so much for your insight. I visited Pakistan in 1987 and I loved the food and the people were so kind

[@alinpetrus356]

Best Salt Mine in Romania is Turda (Cluj County). By far and most known, best arranged.

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

The best salt mine is on twitter.

[@krixpop]

Europe's LARGEST Salt Mine Experience, Romania, Slanic Prahova; preserved historically to the best of their abilities and offered as a museum and for health benefits. - Turda is a modern Salt Mall Circus

[@dariaelena3861]

Am vizitat-o ieri.😂

[@muhammadawaisdar6109]

2 billion metric ton per year is the exact quantity we export

[@niculinamatei8427]

Becul a fost inventat in România?

[@swissclimber1]

Too funny!

[@mihaelaalbert3444]

Razi de tine, cat de proasta esti! Nimeni nu inventeaza nimic! Totul exista! Doar faci o copie artificiala dupa natural!☝️ Ai inteles idiot??? Nu exista inventatori ori genii sau alte prostii; zei, zmei, ingeri...pula calului ce alte traznai le mai vin in cap Stapanilor vostrii!☝️Nu exista titluri sau stiinta separata de fiinte!☝️Nu exista timp sau anotimp!☝️Nu exista moarte! Doar esti programat sa nu mai respiri, sa ti se puna dopul!☝️Etc. Asa ca, nu mai fiti idioti, incretinati, handicapati si sa va cacati in drum degeaba!☝️Sunteti niste sclavi amarati, goliti de creiere si in loc au facut sa aveti intestine cu cacat!! Exact ca animalele!! Deci, sunteti niste animale vorbitoare! Nu va mai cacati pe voi!☝️Toata specia umana e la fel!☝️Unii si.au insusit niste grade nemeritate, crezand astfel, ca nu se mai caca!! Din pacate pt ei, se caca si mor la fel ca restul; programati!☝️😂 Idiots, trezirea!☝️

[@hustrepxee9285]

This is what man can do.

[@rachelminoiu606]

Could someone in a wheelchair have access to this?

[@swissclimber1]

Yes. But the first issue will be you will have to get onboard a bus somehow the old fashioned step/up and down way. Most of the cave floor is smooth but not road smooth. You'll be able to around most parts of the cave

[@Chris-vw3yc]

Goderich Ontario has the world's largest salt mine...

[@JohnEnduro]

And that is relevant to this video...?

[@muhammadawaisdar6109]

china and india also buy salt from us your so called 1st and 3rd salt producing country.

[@XxTheRagingGamerxX]

Best fallout shelter ever

[@swissclimber1]

The Xenex Virus LOL. It’s a place to avoid the COVID-19! Haha that things has no chance to live down there.

[@swissclimber1]

Yes indeed. I just might move to Romania to avoid the world insanity and live near this town. Just in case

[@eddyjuillerat835]

Saloperie de pubs de ch.....

[@sameedstien6118]

This doesn't even come close to Khewra Salt mine.

[@swissclimber1]

You're right! How interesting. It is the world's 2nd largest mine. But there is still one larger !

[@sameedstien6118]

swissclimber1 I know where to go if a zombie apocalypse happens. Lol.
