What does salt mine has to do with spiritism? Jump into medieval gems of Wallachia, still in use today and learn about the dramas of the workers used in the past in the salt mines. Explore Europe’s largest Salt Mine, the third in the world. Get touched by spirituality and experience spiritism and mysticism, in the Castle of Julia Hasdeu.

Regarded by the locals as highlights of the historical region called Wallachia in present day Romania, these places inspire fear and respect in the population still affected by the ghosts of the past. Nevertheless, it’s an amazing tour and the Castle has unique architecture, built by a grieving father in order to connect with the spirit of his premature lost daughter.

One of the three layers is currently open to the general public, being used as a leisure place, with playgrounds, a buffet, sports fields and a sanatorium, the saline microclimate being a natural means of treating respiratory ailments. . At a depth of 208m (682 feet), it was opened for visitors after 1970. The galleries have an opening at the base of 32 meters, and a height of 55 meters. The ventilation of the mine is natural, with a constant temperature throughout the year of 12 degrees Celsius. It’s absolutely the most fascinating immersive experience in Romania.

Iulia Hasdeu Castle

The castle built for Julia Hasdeu it's like a small building from a fairytale. The history of B.P Hasdeu and his premature lost daughter Julia Hasdeu is full of interesting facts, mystery and also magic. The audio guide offers lots of details. Like the fact that the plan of the castle was drawn by the father when he was in a trance, possessed by the spirit of his daughter.

    Impressive highlights, loved the stories Victor (the tour guide) shared. Beyond beautiful highlights I was touched by the stories I look forward to sharing with friends back in Germany. The Slănic Prahova salt mine is a breathtaking surreal salt mine, 54 meters high, a magical underground world with shops and restaurants and magnificent salt statues. It helped that we brought warm clothes, as it gets chilly inside. The Brebu fortified monastery was like time travel to medieval times. Our guide, Victor, told us it's story and it still looks worthy of housing a royal court. The tour ended with a visit to the Iulia Hasdeu Castle. It is a beautiful place with heart warming stories of a father reaching out beyond the limits of this world out of love for his lost daughter.
