What a great way to put the abandoned mine into good use. Looks stunning! Good job to the people who thought of this idea. Thanks National Geographic for sharing.

This would be awesome, until the power goes out.

It is not an amusement park. Is a health facility, where the people must spend up to few hours, for lungs issues. That's why they designed these devices, for spending time in a pleasant way.

You have to utter a semblance of high elvish to open the door..

I wana visit Romania someday. Mainly Sighisoara, Vlad The Impaler birthplace. 🙏🙏🙏

[vinylspell]

I was born in Turda, never been there, such a shame!

[ajeetalbert]

It's always fun to be in the underworld.

Been there. Very cool place. If your fit, take the stairs down. The amusement park stuff is kind of a letdown though.

Imagine rowing your boat and then all the sudden aliens start jumping out of the water..

[sweetlollys]

I'm from Romania and I went with my family and my friends to Salina turda and I got salt rocks there

Great 👍 video. Thanks for sharing. I'd definitely bring a 1, 500+ lumen flashlight 🔦 just in case of an unforseen power outage or blackout. 😁

Something very StarWars-ian about this place.

[sakshamshrestha]
