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.
There’s an awesome 3 level trampoline park in an old slate mine in Wales. I think its called Bounce Below. They use an old miners train to transport you in and out of the slate mine. Been there once with a school trip!
I went 10 years or so ago. It was awesome.
There’s also a massive zip line over the quarry, which we also did.
It looks like a sci-fi research facility.
So people keep asking me: “why build a massive research facility at the bottom of a salt mine?” Well, I’ll tell you: science! That’s why. Those safety-obsessed, bureaucratic government types are always slowing things down. Better to move this operation indoors so we can get to work. And that’s where you come in: get your assignment at the desk, and let’s make history.
Cool settng. Reminds me of the Carrières de Lumière, in France
Turda.
Perfect, now we can get this birth certificate filled out and go home
Would make a sick climbing gym
Down here, salt is a way of life.
Man if I were there I would be tempted to try lick the walls. To see if it’s salty.
That’s why we keep the walls super cold
