For something out of the ordinary head 40 kilometres west to Cacica where Romania’s best salt is mined.
The salt here is re-crystallised from brine and retrieved along tunnels that were first excavated by hand in 1791. There are 8,200 tunnels in all at this gigantic site, some of which are opened up to the public on 2-3-hour tour.
It can be a bit unnerving to know that almost 100 metres below your feet there are miners hard at work.
