🔴 EN Salina Praid is a rock salt mine in Romania, located in Harghita County. The salt mine is located in the basin of the Gurghiului mountains, included in the Salt Hill, forming the triangle Praid - Ocna de Jos - Ocna de Sus.
The first salt mines have been attested since Roman times, but the mine in Praid has been documented since 1200, and intensive mining has been done since 1700. The Romans worked only on the surface, in quadrilateral pits, up to a depth of 12-15 m, from where the salt could be easily removed on slippery bridges and with simple lifting devices, after which they left it and started another. This is how the Romans extracted salt everywhere in Transylvania, and the abandoned excavations became lakes.
Following the extraction of the salt, large underground voids were formed, where a saline microclimate was individualized, with relatively constant temperatures, between 14-16 C, low humidity 66-70%, and higher atmospheric pressure than at the surface, in an average of 735-738 mmHg. The air is strongly ionized, particularly effective in treating respiratory diseases. The treatment base, located on the "horizon 50", at a depth of 120 m, has a width of 20 m, a height of 14 m, and a length of several hundred meters. At a distance of 1250 m from the entrance to the salt mine to the treatment base, the transport of people is done by the salt mine buses. The salt mine is equipped with recreation areas, playgrounds for children, a restaurant, toilets, a chapel for prayer, an internet cafe, and a small museum that presents the methods of extracting salt from ancient times to today.
In 2009, Praid Salt Mine was the most visited salt mine in Romania, with over 200,000 tourists annually, followed by Slănic Prahova, with over 150,000 tourists, and Târgu Ocna Salt Mine and Cacica Salt Mine.
