Start your experience with pickup and a short drive to the Turda Salt Mine. Take a guided tour and spend some time in its unique underground theme park. Try out the ferris wheel, play a round of minigolf, or ride a boat on its underground lake.

Hop back in the vehicle and head for the Turda Gorge. Marvel at the 3-kilometer long canyon, with massive walls sculpted in weathered limestone. Hike through high cliffs with steep ridges, rock towers, caves, and lots of varieties of flora and fauna.

WOW. Such an awesome tour! Be prepared for the hike it's quite rocky so a little bit of footwork is required. The views and natural wonder of Transylvania are on full display. Book it and don't think about it too long! Grab an extra water at the mine before the tour if its hot outside. Truly unique experience.
