Stop At: Salina Turda, Aleea Durgaului 7, Turda 401200 Romania
Turda was once the most important economic centre in this region. Salt, also known as ‘white gold’, has been extracted from the Turda salt mine since the Roman Age. This mine, dating from the 17th century, was a decisive factor in the development of this town from Roman times until today and is now a veritable history museum of salt mining.

We spend the afternoon in the Transylvanian Western Carpathian mountains in the village of Rimetea.

Andrei was friendly, professional & knowledgeable. He went out of his way to show me somethingvi asked about that wasn't on the tinerary. The salt mine was very interesting. The hike to the fortress was short, but beautiful! I had a great day!

Turds Salt Mines was surprisingly interesting and the village quite lovely. We also stopped at the ruins of a Roman legion camp in Turda which wasn't on the trip itinerary at our request which was appreciated. We decided not to walk up to ruined fortress as it was a 45 min.walk uphill. Had a lovely meal. Andre, our guide, was wonderful.

During our stay in Cluj-Napoca, one of the days was planned to make a day trip to nearby areas. As we decided, we don't want to drive ourselves, I started to search for a guided day tour and found George Turism Local Tours and our tour guide Christian. We knew, we wanted to see the salt mine and some natural areas, that would also be suitable for a bit older traveler (traveled with my mum) and this day trip was the only one that didn't include too heavy hiking, yet offered interesting things to see. And it was absolutely the best day trip that we could have asked for! Christian was an amazing guide and made us feel welcomed and well-taken care of from the moment he picked us up from our hotel door. His knowledge about the area and the things we saw, were amazing and he gives you just about enough information not to feel too overwhelmed. He was an amazing conversation partner during our drives from one sightseeing to another, talking about Romania and different world topics and answering all of our questions. The trip itself is very well planned, we got exactly what we wished for. The salt mine (trust me, no picture is worthy of the real thing), the small hike up on a Colțesti fortress for mountain views that were amazing (again, the photos won't do them justice), and a small ancient village of Rimetea. A little bit of museum vibe, a little bit of nature, a little bit of historic village romance, and a lot of amazing facts and stories from Christian. Thank you, Christian, for making our trip to Romania so memorable!La gita alla miniera di sale di Turda è stata una bella esperienza, l'autista del van molto gentile ed educato e anche puntuale, abbiamo visitato la miniera e poi siamo partiti alla volta di Rimetea, dove abbiamo pranzato in un bel localino tipico e rustico per poi proseguire per Coltesti dove ci...
La gita alla miniera di sale di Turda è stata una bella esperienza, l'autista del van molto gentile ed educato e anche puntuale, abbiamo visitato la miniera e poi siamo partiti alla volta di Rimetea, dove abbiamo pranzato in un bel localino tipico e rustico per poi proseguire per Coltesti dove ci ha fatto scendere per fare una passeggiata nel verde ed una scalata a piedi per arrivare alla fortezza dove abbiamo potuto ammirare il panorama dall'alto. Da lì poi siamo ripartiti per Cluj passando da un bellissimo Monastero a Rimetea. Unico neo del tour operator che per lasciarci all'aeroporto di cluj invece dell'hotel ci ha chiesto 10€ di supplemento cad.De zoutmijn is commercieel, maar daardoor kan je er ook zoveel van zien. Rimetea is een mooi dorp en we hebben ook de gorges gedaan en dit zou eigenlijk wel inbegrepen kunnen zijn in zo een dag trip.

Ben nog nooit in een mijn met zout boven me, op de zijkanten en onder geweest. Door de commercialisering kan je zelfs tot een diep meer afdalen.. echt doen volgens mij. En Rimetea is een aangenaam dorp.
