Kopalnie soli kamiennej w Rumunii - tradycja i czasy dzisiejsze

The rock salt production in Romania has a long tradition since Roman Empire times. Today the salt is produced in underground mines and as salt in brine. The total production is around 2.6 mln Mg per year. Contemporary salt mining combines the rock salt exploitation with tradition by creating touristic routes, museums and sanatories in old mining openings. Three of several mines producing rock salt and brine are presented: Salina Praid, Salina Targu Ocna i Salina Cacica. The mines were visited by Polish Salt Mining Association (PSGS) during geological and mining seminar which took place in Romania from 10th to 14th July 2009.
