Start with pickup from Cluj at 8:30 AM, after which you will make your way to the salt mine of Turda. Learn about the history of the salt mine with your guide through the various galleries and exhibitions. Enjoy the various activities inside the underground amusement park. Some of the features include an underground lake that may be explored with paddles and rowing boats, a Ferris wheel, a bowling alley, mini-golf, table tennis, and pool tables.

After discovering the spectacular salt mine, journey through the Apuseni Mountains to arrive at Rimetea. This is a Hungarian village wonderfully preserved in harmony with nature. For centuries, Rimetea was famous throughout Transylvania for its iron mines as well as for the skills of its blacksmiths. You will also have the opportunity to stop for lunch if desired.

Heading back to Cluj, stop for a 2-hour walk in the Turda Gorge nature reserve, which is one of Romania’s most important places for rock climbing. Cross the canyon and admire the 200m high crags. See a small fortified cave used by brigands as a refuge over two centuries ago before returning to Cluj in the late afternoon.
