Muntele de sare Praid, Nature reserve in Harghita County, Romania
The Salt Mountain of Praid extends over 60 hectares and features a remarkable salt canyon formed by the erosion of the Corund River.
Salt extraction in the Praid area dates back to the 18th century, with deposits reaching depths of 3 kilometers beneath the surface.
The region maintains traditional salt extraction methods and features a collection of local architectural elements along Mine Street.
Visitors can explore a one-kilometer marked trail through the reserve, which takes approximately two hours to complete and includes informative geological stops.
The mountain contains specialized halophytic plants that thrive in the saline environment, including rare species like Salicornia europaea and various Atriplex varieties.
