We went up on a very rainy day, and there was no problem, just make sure you're adequately equipped, because the track is not so easy, although doable by everybody. It was the most wonderful landscape we had ever seen. We also went inside the cave with headlamps, which was unforgettable (we recommend to do it with experienced people and water boots). As the site has been kept as it is, in its most natural way, you won't find any restaurant/bar in the national park, so make sure you bring your own food and drinks.

The Apuseni Mountains are Romanian countryside at its best; flower-rich meadows, ancient forests and traditional wooden buildings. For the hiker they are ideal, as your walk can be as leisurely or intense as you like, with a great variation in the scenery and the landscape. too. The steep forested hillsides hide traditional villages and pristine streams and for the nature lover, the forests and meadows are full of flowers, butterflies, birds, mammals, amphibians and other wildlife. The mountains are best reached from Cluj-napoca, where you can travel by car or train to Huedin before heading south into the hills. The roads can be narrow and bumpy at times and shops and amenities are few and far between. Most villages usually have at least one small shop or car/cafe. I found walking here to be incredibly peaceful and would recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 125 reviews
A reality adventure game where a team of players (2 to 6 people) has to escape a locked room by solving different puzzles and mysteries using the clues found in the room in 60 minutes. To succeed, the team needs to have good communication between its members. Our game designs are specifically based on certain discoveries in the area of psychology, the goal is to achieve a high level of player immersion in the game so that the participants may reach the so-called FLOW state. ”That certain mental state, when people are so absorbed by an activity that nothing else seems to bother them; that experience itself is so pleasant that the people will try to repeat it no matter what, just for the sake of the doing it” - Mihály Csikszentmihályi researcher in the field of psychology, who first defined the FLOW concept

It was a really interesting experience, maybe a bit too difficult for us (it was the first time for all of us in a place like this - we were a group of 5 friends); but the host was super nice and he helped us when needed. I would highly recommend it for everyone who wants to do something a bit more challenging, but also relaxing at the same time.

We love to seek out unexpected places like this during our travels and Salina Turda actually exceeded our expectations. It was great to wander into the cool cave for relief from the hot day, admire the beautiful colorings of the walls, take a ferris wheel ride, watch others in the boats or playing mini golf, and just admire the place as a whole. While much more subdued than a traditional amusement park, we loved the quiet vibe and strange experience of going so far underground. It felt like another world. It does involve a lot of walking and some stairs, so keep that in mind. There's also no food or drink options as I recall, so plan ahead for that as well. Well worth the visit though!
