Overview

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.
