The small oak church, made of thick beams, seems to have been built in the middle of the 16th century . In the church there is the Icon of the Mother of God to which the existence of the monastic settlement is linked. In the vicinity of the old church there are some hundred years old oaks.

Ocnele Mari Salt Mine

Reviewed By Anfrist - Bucharest, Romania

It is not easy to reach this attraction, almost no signs, only relied on Online Maps. Parking was ok, free. Overall we liked that the experience is not yet so commercial to rip you off for everything big time and to queue forever like Turda. It is also a bit more modest, but good. The price is around 5 euros for adult and you go down by bus, fun ride. Once inside the ample rooms with layers of salt are impressive. The salt smell is strong. Food, beverages and fun is quite cheap and very diverse. Toilets are in 3 places, could be cleaner. We liked the time there.
