Salina Turda is an ancient Romanian salt mine that has been converted into an amusement park.
These massive pits are only partially restored and rennovated, most of it lies abandoned, but one of the shafts has been put into a strange use.
@evazubeckand I decide to have a date night in this wild place.

Chase Your Fears 🐉
You missed the solid reason of this playground. Did you know that the air you breath in its healthy down there. People go to get treatment. They used to sit around and be bored. Like this they made it more fun.
Exactly, its there especially for kids that go there in groups for long rehabilitation sessions and they get bored, so they put some games in there for them.
That's a beautiful piece of information and hopefully a lot of healing took place for those that needed treatment
@@Sl0oMo0-y1t it’s commonly used for Asthma and it cured/negated the effects of my asthma. It was great when i was a kid.
i visited Salina Turda about 6 years ago it was amazing I absolutely loved Romania what an awesome country. everyone there was super friendly
So happy to see someone having an interest in Romania it seems like it has been forgotten by many.
True. I don't have anything against Dracula, but I'd like it if people were more interested in Romania beyond just vampires
I've been there. The whole mine is one huge salt crystal. There's even a church and a school inside it.
Are you sure you are saying about Turda salt mine?
@@krewetkaaaa Salina Targu Ocna I think is the one if I remember correctly.
I thought there was only one, I guess I am mistaken.
@@PhilLaird yes, there are few salt mines in romania
These one from video is salina turda ...in turda, quite near cluj napoca
I think the one with a church inside is at Praid
The place looks incredible. I will love to visit. I love your videos. Love from Abuja, Nigeria
Hoping to visit Nigeria next year!
Romania is absolutely wild! Sick video dude!
It’s an amazing country 🙌🏻
That's true... Romania is a wild country. It's wild because it is a very rich country and everybody steal from us....but we cool, we have the mother nature! What do you have?
@@MihaiGurgu1161 He meant it in a good way chill your tits buddy
@@MihaiGurgu1161 numai te plânge atât ma!
This place is amazing. I was here with my wife 3 years ago a really unique adventure
I would definitely visit this place after the pandemic is OVER 😊 Thank you for showing us this amazing amusement park
Masks on for this one for sure 👌🏻
That means u will visit over 10 years or 15 maybe 🤣
You can visit Romania now it is open for everyone if you get vaccinated!
You are welcome to Transylvania!
Omg this was perhaps the best date night ever. I would love to take my husband on a date night here! What a dream!
Hahaha we had so much fun!
be prepared that normally is so packed you can barely move freely and just go with the flow 😅
@@rekavitz6473 hardly sounds abandoned 😂
@@chloerene7858 i guess he meant “abandoned” in the sense that they don’t use it as a mine anymore. But it’s one Romanias top tourist attraction... so in normal times there’s pretty high traffic
i had a girl actually bring me here as a first date. we played ping pong, and had boat ride inside a cenote like lake. was fun. lots of stairs though.
I visited that place two years ago with my family. One of the workers actually took is down a closed tunnel when me and my cousin found a ladder in the ground right before you would actually enter the mine. We asked the tour guide where it leads and he actually took us down there xD. I still have the salt chrystal that guide gave me :). It was very interesting to see how the tunnels the workers carved out centuries ago looked like. Ma back hurt all day after that since I'm tall and wasn't able to stand up straight in the tunnels😆
I love watching you and Eva together
Great video. I was fortunate enough to visit this place a couple of years ago, and it was an awesome experience. A truly remarkable place.
I've seen this probably a couple of years ago on Josh's channel. But then the place was pretty crowded. You seemed to have it all to yourselves, thanks to corona.
It gives this feeling as if you're living the 'journey to the centre of the earth' novel :)
Haha this is true. No one wants to go to a Salt Mine during a Pandemic, haha 😆
Would love to visit Romania - thanks for sharing!
😲😲 never seen this like this before...that's so amazing
Only in Romania!
Hi Mike, there is an even easier way to remember stalactites vs stalagmites that I have always used. The "G" in stalagmites stands for them coming the "Ground" wheras stalactites have a "C" meaning they are coming from the "Ceiling." But if your way is easier for you more power to you.
I always remembered that stalacTITES hold on TIGHT.
I was taught that the stalac"tites" had to hold on "tight". Whatever works!
I was there multiple times, I love it more than anything.
So absolutely awesome. Looked like so much fun. I would go there if I could.
What a cool place! You and Eva are adorable! I’ve been binge watching both your videos lately! Thanks for another awesome one! 🐉
She’s got some great ones doesn’t she ;)
9:27 I paddled in that same place 8-9 years ago. What a fantastic place it was. Did you know that there are 2 more huge circular caverns that are not open to the public? I heard that if you fall into the water at the bottom of those other holes, there is no way to get you out again. I threw a small stone into one and it seemed to take forever to make a splash at the bottom. At 9:33 you can see the opening at the top for this cavern. The other two are the same as this one but dark and inaccessible.
I don't think they used machines to mine the salt but sprayed water on the walls and pumped the saturated salt water back to the surface. Using water rather than machinery is why the walls are so smooth.
That was Eva with you? Now I know why I liked her at first sight. She is such a positive and fun person. I love her channel.
Thats an amazing video. Love to see your vlog. Keep inspiring us to make awesome video. ❤❤
Some good ones coming 🐉
the lights! 🤩
No skipping ads for this man!
Sending love from the Philippines.
🐉🐉🐉
Wow! just Wow. but im gonna edit this comment cuz i saw Eva with you. happy to both of you.
Funny 🤣 Eva 😅. The place is awesome ! I enjoyed this video so much laugh !
She loved hitting me during killer ping pong a bit too much haha
Wow didn't even know there was a place like that in Romania, looks amazing and cool 🙂
Yeah man, Romania has a lot to offer...I’m was born there and I can tell you...beautiful👍👍👍
I respect this man tremendously for facing his fears of public speaking because of how much I relate since I stutter due to fear of public speaking and just plain out social anxiety
OMG! That place looks gorgeous, especially those high ceilings with pretty lights. Thanks for the video, Mike. I might be stuck where I am, but I'm glad I get to live vicariously through you and see these kinds of awesome places. PS. Eva is so cute! You two look adorable together. Cheers!
Haha we had a blast. Should I have let her win more? 😆
@@fearlessandfar, I can tell. LOL! You should let her win if you want to make her happy (or live). But I think she's fine. You guys always look like you're having the time of your lives.😆
greetings ... from iowa city..I love your videos
My favorite Male travel vlogger is dating my favorite female travel vlogger. This is unreal! 😄👏👏👏👏 Nobody can top this vid! Best of both worlds!
Eva is a sweetheart 🤍🇵🇰
*fun fact : the water is of course full with salt as concentration , if you fall in that water ,you will remain up , because the salt water keep you safe on top without danger to drown ,doesn't count if you know or not to swim*
Start the WAR on FEAR in your life here 🐉:

It's an amazing place. I've been there once. Thank you for showing this to others
Nice to have Eva along with your adventure, looked fun 😁 you've got great common interest for sure!
We have 3 salt mines open to the public, at least as far as I know. Next time try Ocnele Mari near by Rm. Vâlcea and the one in Harghita, Pride salt mine as well!!!!!!! Thank you for this video!!! Amazing
Amazing video,as always. Thank you Mike
I was there last year, very cool place! The ferris wheel was fun.
You're a great pair. Mike loves the sea while Eva loves the mountain, a great collaboration and a compatible relationship. I'm new in following your separate vlogs, but love to see you both in one adventure.
Also, stalaCtites "C" = ceiling and stalaGmites "G" = ground LOVE this channel. Discovered today and binge watching until I'm caught up! Amazing stuff...
I'm living my dreams in your videos. Pray that I got to follow suit in your adventures in the future myself.
Beautiful..........made even more beautiful with Eva. That place is really awesome. Thanks for showing it to us.
Wow that salt island is a beautiful spot.. 🐉🐉
So cool right? 🐉
Awesome work Mike! Good luck with the course. Brilliant as always!
Dude, this is so cool! What an incredible place. I would love to visit a place like that. I first heard about it about a year or two ago and it has been on my must-visit list ever since. Haha, who knew you're also a master at bowling and put-put golf? Eva's put-put winning technique is almost identical to mine! 🤣 The games look cool, but I think my favorite part would be rowing the boat on the lake. Such an awesome-looking mine! And, of course, good luck with The War on Fear Bootcamp. As someone who has taken the course myself, I can say with 100% confidence that it is something truly special and is going to help a lot of people change their relationships with fear. 🐉🐉🐉🐉🔥
I love this content, still keeping with the channel theme and fun also to see you guys play. Really unique place. Thank you for this, inspires me to make unique design.😀
Watching it again !
Haha heyo! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beautiful location brother 👍
My Romanian wife took me there on our first trip to Romania in 2013. It was pretty cool indeed.
Wooow...that place are sooo....cool you guys are so damn lucky to explore different places in this time of pandemic while almost everyone stuck in one place including me🤦♀anyway thanks for sharing your journey stay safe and God bless!!!
as a romanian seeing people visit our country is so cool
WOW ! Keep safe always Mik Mik.love from phils
I was there like 10 years ago before renovation. It was so much diffferent than now.
It was so scary to go down with old wooden stairs...and bottom was just empty ..
OMG!!! Nice shot Mike!
Here’s how to remember between stalagmite versus stalactite. StalaGmite => G = Ground. StalaCtite => C = Ceiling :).
That’s a good one too!
Stalagmites grow up with might. Stalactites hold on tight
There is EVA??..HI!.. and.. yes! Salina Turda is one os the most beautiful salt mine in the world!
Honestly..i followed Eva for a year.. And I'm so happy seeing you together travelling... But just now I know you have page and you traveled already in the Philippines w kulas and the fighter boys.. I'm so amazed w your content.. So much knowledge... Take care always.. Same w Eva... And by the way.. Bring Eva in Philippines.. ❤️❤️
Just found your channel been watching different videos and have really enjoyed it. I (Kelley) have to say over the last 23 years I have faced so many of my fears and have overcome so many. How I always remembered stalagmites and stalagmites is Stalagtites hold tight to the ceiling and stalagmites might make it to the ceiling. It came over on camera it was so cool which means it is amazing in person.
Mike thanks for taking us there! I didn't have idea about place like that - looks pretty cool!
Lots of symbolism in this video.
binge watching your videos and super love your rather educational approach to travelling..more than amazing!🤓 satisfies my cravings to learn about new things, places, and cultures. awesome job! much love from Dubai😇🥰
One of the best salt mine in mi country ❤
That’s really interesting how they found a profitable use for the space witch also provides jobs instead of it being left abandoned
Cool cool!
Im not skipping ur ads..i appreciated very much ur content in every vlog..
You forgot to lick the walls. Next time you visit another salt mine from Romania don't forget to lick the walls, it's a must-do! :)
Cool! I fear I couldn't afford to travel the world. :)
Stalagtites = holding tight to the ceiling
Finally someone who knows it the same way I do. Stalactites hang on tight.
It's a great place to visit! I went there in 2014, it was great.
You have to visit the salt mines in Poland (Wieliczka Salt Mine), also awesome!
Great video!
Was it renovated then? I was in 2007 there and it was so much different
@@krewetkaaaa Probably. I went there only in that year, so, I don't know if it was renovated.
@@NunoFranca what I meant is if it was already like on video? Bowling, minigolf etc
When I was there...it was just empty, without this new fancy stuff, new lights etc ;-)
Still impresive but so much different.
@@krewetkaaaa Yes, it was like the video. :)
Hi Mike
Loved the vlog . Love Eva she is so good at vlogs great team keep up the great vlogs.
Ever been to Australia ?
Thanks Cya.
Looks amazing!
I love your process to remember an information because I do that as well, and I'm so not good in remembering things. I also saw that on one of your other videos
Can’t wait to visit it again 🥺
I will love to visit too. It looks very interesting
Been there twice, last time in June 2020. The air inside the mine is very good for people having lung and breathing issues. I plan to go again, because I want to use one of the canoes on the lake at the bottom of the mine (last year my wife was too scared...).
There’s also an underground salt mine in Poland. It is incredibly amazing but it is not abandoned. You should not miss it Mikmik👍
The salt mine in Romania is not abandoned, lol
@@nadia_dana45 oh sorry.. I got it wrong. I stand corrected.
@@irmateesuarez8501 Turda Salt Mine
Love to see u both mike and eva
I;ve seen some drone races that where held there Fantastic !
So inspiring!
Absolutely beatyfull , 20km from my house I love int he humble city of ocna mures and every few month we make family trips there , for the health benefit but mostly to spend some family time
we have a salt mine open for tours about 2 hours from where i live. its in the center of kansas. i won't go down it (claustraphobic), but from the pictures, they look like you just ride trams around the halls while getting a history of it. this seems like a much more interesting way to learn about salt's history.
Cheers from Cluj :)
Always the best topic / place on vlog..miss u mike
I thought the mine was fully abandoned then I remembered I went there when I was a kid!
I live near (like 30km from the salt mine), in Cluj-Napoca, the highest life standards city in all of Romania. I have been there, its actually an museum on the upper tunnels, but they had the idea to put some things to bring tourist to the museum. Even the redbull team jumped in the lake from the top. Hope you come back to Romania and visit Cluj-Napoca. We will welcome you with our doors open😉😉
Dute mă cu "highest life standard" al tău.Trebuia să te caci pe tine un pic.
@Fearless & Fear, Mike, my easiest way to remember which one is which when it comes to mineral deposits in caves...the word Stalagmite has a letter "g" as in "ground" = deposits formed on the ground. Stalactite has a letter "c" as in "ceiling" = deposits formed on the ceiling. Trick I learned way back in grade school, a long time ago 😁 Thank you for sharing. I would love to visit this place someday👍
I always learned stalactites stick tight to the ceiling and stalagmites stick mighty up from the ground.
Hello Mike
I would like to visit that PLACE to.enjoy GUYS 👍👍👍👌👌👌👫😍👫🐉🐉🐉🧡🧡🧡
Omg..so nice like crystal world
Stalactites has a "c" in it for ceiling, stalagmites has a "g" in it for ground.
Love your trivia'bout stalacTiTes and stalagMites
My trick for stalactites and stalagmites is French but still ... stalactites is having a T like "Tomber'' -falling and stalagmites is having a M like ''Monter''-going up.
Going down to the boats reminds me of the movie CITY OF EMBER.
I've been to a salt mine in Kansas where part of it is now a museum, but I've never seen anything like this. These caverns are unspeakably huge.
Basically in Turda we are siting on salt and this could be a problem, the salt and water dont make for a good combination
My mom always said stalactites hold tight to the ceiling and stalagmites might touch the ceiling.
I remember it because..... STALAGTITES are from above because they hold on TIGHT to the ceiling. STALAGMITES are from below because you MIGHT trip on them
I'm from Romania. Nice video !
As a kid I often had lung problems so the doctor often prescribed a week or so visit there to "clean my lungs" with the salty air. It was really nice and cozy in the early 90-s .. then 10 or so years later some entrepreneur bloke had the "great" idea to do this. totally ruined the mood. I don't think most people go there anymore for the air anymore. Back then you could barely get in. i remember having to wait for hours at a time just to reach the ticket booth for the mine bus that ran from the entrance deeper inside and back.
😃🤣 I knew you both would be super competitive. Fun date nite location. It looks much less crowded & much quieter than previous vloggers footage - guess COVID-19 has impacted on tourism in Romania.
That look so awesome.
Millions of years it was only stone.
Not its an amusement park.
Miss you Mike from Philippines 🇵🇭😘
