What to expect

  1. Slanic Salt Museum
    Pass by
    Your day begins with a descent into a subterranean world. With a constant temperature of 12°C, these massive salt excavations are legendary. You’ll walk through towering galleries (some reaching 54 meters in height) and learn about the history of salt extraction. Whether you're there for the alleged health benefits of the saline air or the sheer scale of the architecture, it is a breathtaking sight.
  2. Vulcanii Noroiosi (Muddy Volcanoes)
    Pass by
    Next, we head to the Buzau County to witness the Muddy Volcanoes. This is one of the few places in Europe where natural gases push mud to the surface, forming small, volcano-shaped cones. As the mud dries, it creates deep, intricate fractures in the ground, perfect for unique photography. It’s a quiet, eerie, and utterly fascinating place that feels miles away from civilization.
