Moreover, it is an open history museum for anyone willing to connect the salt extraction with the events that occurred during Roman occupation in Dacia . After mining having ceased there in 1931, today the Turda Salt Mine is the history museum of Salt exploitation. Besides its curative benefits, The Salt Mine offers a spectacular subterranean space. Inside you can enjoy the benefits of curative, salty air of the mine well known for the treatment of various respiratory diseases. You can also admire the mine itself and enjoy the various recreational activities that are available. Considered by many foreign publications as one of the most spectacular underground sights Salina Turda awaits its visitors with numerous attractions (Franz Josef Gallery, Joseph Mine – the room of echoes, Meeting Crivac, Rudolf Mine, Theresa Mine), spa and leisure ( spa, swimming pool + big wheel, miniature golf, bowling, boating on the underground lake, tennis, billiards, etc.). Salina Turda is today a veritable museum of the history of salt mining, and is certainly the most famous destination for tourists who visit Turda and Cluj-Napoca. At lunch we will taste a bit of traditional romanian lifestyle and gastronomy at Sarea-n Bucate. Turda Gorge Turda Gorge (Cheile Turzii in Romanian) is a natural reserve (on Hășdate River ) situated 6 km west of Turda and about 15 km south-east of Cluj-Napoca, in Transylvania , Romania.The canyon, formed through the erosion of the Jurassic limestone of the mountain, is 2 900 m longand the walls have heights reaching 300 m.The total surface of the canyon is of 324 ha. Cheile Turzii contain one of the richest and most scenic karst landscapes in Romania. More than 1000 plant and animal species (some of them rare or endangered, like the wild garlic or some species of eagle) live here. More than 1,000 plant species can be found in the reservation: Allium obliquum, Dianthus integripetalus, Viola jobi. * Tarifele si disponibilitatile sunt valabile la acest moment.

Piatra Secuiului and Rimetea Rimetea – The Szekely Stone (Piatra Secuiului) – limestone massive that “dominates” Rimetea village, a bare and alongate rock, divided in two by a ravine (therefore, from May to September, the Sun rises here twice for the people living on the North side of the village). The North part of this massive, the shorter one is named „The Trascău Fangs” and here are the ruins of a medieval fortress. The karst relief has intense cracking lines and over 15 small caves (only three of them are over 15 meters long), located on the upper side of the steep. According to a local legend, the name of The Szekely (German) Stone comes from the fact that in XIII century, the local german people took refuge in this mountain, in order to escape from the Tatar attack. Rimetea village in Alba County is considered one of the most beautiful places in Romania, and this is confirmed by a survey made by website onlinereport.ro. Castle "The Temple of the Knights" A long, long time ago, ever since the dawn of our civilization, there were people that loved this wonderful, odd, beautiful, savage place... and that settled here, building the first prehistorical settlements. Therefore, the first traces of human existence in this area are placed in the Neolitical Age. This part of the Trascau Mountains, recognized all over the world as the region with the greatest density of caves per surface unit, has offered ideal life conditions during the rough glacial periods. By a wonderful gift from the Gods, the ice did not reach the Carpathian chain, a fact which made this region the only one suitable for human evolution. * Tarifele si disponibilitatile sunt valabile la acest moment. (03.10.2021 23:39) Leaving the caves in search of light and heat, people discovered this place with an ideal defensive position, able to face the power of nature and the greed of enemies. They built this fortress, which was inhabitted by our Dacian ancestors, as proven by the presence of their tombs on the nearby cliffs. This location continued to be a safety ground in the time of the Along the tourmented history of the rich and beautiful region of Ardeal, there was a long period of foreign oppression, period within which this Romanian castle was used by the oppressors as a military base, it being situated at the border of their native country. This caused the participation of the inhabitants of these teritories to the uprising of Horea, Closca and Crisan, to the Revolution of 1848, to the Unification of 1918 etc. Servicii incluse Included services: -Transportation-mini-bus with 19 seats. -Lunch -Guide for all the tour.

Within the mining tourism, there are worldwide known and mass-visited mining objects in many countries. However, mass mining tourism can also be realized in locations that, (1) recently, are less known and/or less accessible to general public, or (2) include mine remnants accessible only at short distances or without underground access possibility, due to the protection of specific animal species. This article is focused on the mass tourism in such types of mines and mining areas.

  • Învârtita Din Luna-Turda
    ÎNVÂRTITA DIN LUNA-TURDA Romanian PRONUNCIATION: eun-veur-TEE-tah deen LOO-nah-TOOR-dah (eu approximately as in "fleur-de- lis") TRANSLATION: Spinning dance from the area of the towns of Luna and Turda. SOURCE: Dick Oakes learned this dance from Sunni Bloland who learned it from Costea Constantin during Sunni's research trip to Romania in 1967-68 and introduced it to folk dancers in the United States in 1969. Sunni taught the dance at the 1970 California Kolo Festival, at the 1979 Laguna Folk Dance Festival in Laguna, California, and at the 1982 San Diego State University Folk Dance Conference. BACKGROUND: The word "învârtita" comes from the verb "învârti" meaning to whirl around or to spin. This învârtita was found in the area of the towns of Luna and Turda (near Cluj in Transylvania) by Costea Costantin, a dance researcher at the Institute of Ethnography and Folklore in Bucharest (Bucureşti). Turda is situated on the Arieş River. The Turda Gorge is a natural reserve situated about 4 miles west of Turda with marked trails for scenic hikes crossing streams and bridges. In 1918, Transylvania united with Romania, and Turda with it. In 1944, the Battle of Turda took place here, between German and Hungarian forces on one side and Soviet and Romanian forces on the other. It was the largest battle fought in Transylvania during World War II. There is evidence of human settlement in the area dating to the Middle Paleolithic, some 60,000 years ago. The Potaissa salt mines were worked in the area since prehistoric times.

Due to this factor quite a number of skeletal fragments remained and fossilized over millions of years, especially in caves. Their presence in Europe can be traced back to the Eocene, but the majority of finds come from the Neogene and the Quaternary. In the Car- pathian Basin they are known since the beginning of the Neogene. The text is complemented with the bibliogra- phy concerning the fossilized material, one figure and six table.

    Chapter 59 -- Three Tales of Two St. Pauls Chute's Cave Let us briefly move to St. Paul's Minnesota's neighbor, Minneapolis. When S.H. Chute excavated a 2.5-meter tunnel to provide water to his Phoenix Four Mill in 1864, the project encountered a cave and was abandoned. A bulkhead built during 1875 excavation for a tailrace, however, made the suitable for sub-urban excursions. From the Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, August 26 of the following year, Chute's Cave -- A Boat Ride of 2,000 Feet Under Main Street. The mouth of the "Chute's Cave" is just below the springs, and the bottom of this cave is covered with about eighteen inches of water. For the moderate sum of ten cents you can take a seat in a boat with a flaming torch at the bow, and with a trusty pilot sail up under Main street a distance of about 2,000 feet, between pure white sandstone, and under a limestone arch which forms the roof. It is an inexpensive and decidedly interesting trip to take. Stereopticon view showing a flat- bottomed boat and pole. Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, December 1, 1889, But a few years ago not a day passed that did not bring in visitors. A stream of water ran the whole length of the cave, and for the small consideration of a dime, a grim, Charon-like individual would undertake to convey, in a rude sort of a boat, all visitors, who were inclined, for the distance of a quarter or a mile or thereabouts into the gloomy passage.
