Muntele de Sare Slănic Prahova, Nature reserve in Slănic Prahova, Romania
The salt mountain spans across 2 hectares, featuring exposed salt formations, with a central lake surrounded by eroded mineral walls.
The site originated from a collapsed salt mining gallery, with significant structural changes occurring after heavy rainfall in June 1999.
The salt mines in this region, dating back to 1688, represent a vital part of Romanian mining heritage and local economic development.
Visitors can access the reserve through Slanic Prahova train station, with a 15-minute walk leading to the natural geological formations.
The mountain surface displays distinctive salt formations called 'lapiezuri', created by natural erosion processes acting upon mineral deposits.
