Las minas impresionantes. El guía, Santiago, solo nos dió una breve explicación de 5 minutos. Hubiera estado bien que nos explicase sobre la historia de la mina. Fue más acompañante que guía. Fuera de las minas había un mercadillo, y no nos dió tiempo para dar una vuelta, ni tampoco nos dió opción a comprar nada para comer. Vale la pena solo si estás más de 8 días en Bucarest, aunque hay mucha distancia para estar solo 1:30h allí. Además, el tour supuestamente duraba 8 horas, y duró 6 horas.

The mines were impressive. The guide, Santiago, only gave us a brief, five-minute explanation. It would have been nice if he had explained the history of the mine to us. He was more of an escort than a guide. Outside the mines, there was a market, and he didn't give us time to wander around, nor did he give us the option to buy anything to eat. It's only worth it if you're in Bucharest for more than eight days, although it's a long distance away to spend just an hour and a half there. Also, the tour was supposed to last eight hours, but it ended up being six. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos recogió el chófer en furgoneta, con otra gente y nos llevó a Slanic. Allí cogimos otra furgoneta que nos bajaba a la mina con otra gente. Nos dejaron estar dos horas allí dentro para la visita individual, y luego volvimos a subir con la furgoneta. Es un muy bonito de visitar, aunque la tienda estaba cerrada y no pudimos comprar la sal que queríamos de recuerdo. Translate this opinion into English.

The driver picked us up in a van, with other people, and took us to Slanic. There we took another van that took us down to the mine with other people. They let us stay there for two hours for the individual visit, and then we went back up with the van. It is a very nice place to visit, although the store was closed and we couldn't buy the salt we wanted as a souvenir. Opinion translated. Show original.

Las minas son una visita interesante y muy bonita, son más pequeñas y menos espectaculares que las de Turda, pero como visita merece la pena. El chófer te deja en la entrada a la mina, y tienes un par de horas para visitarla por libre, y después vuelves a Bucarest. Translate this opinion into English.

The mines are an interesting and very beautiful visit, they are smaller and less spectacular than those of Turda, but as a visit it is worth it. The driver drops you off at the entrance to the mine, and you have a couple of hours to visit it on your own, and then you return to Bucharest. Opinion translated. Show original.

Las minas me decepcionaron mucho. Esperaba que hubiera explicaciones sobre el proceso de extracción de sal, pero lo tienen convertido en un sitio de ocio. Desde mi opinión, no merece la pena hacer tantas horas de viaje para solo ver la mina. Igual sería buena idea combinar la actividad con algo más. El guía parecía un tío majo, pero hablaba tan bajito que no se escuchaba nada de su explicación en el bus.

I was very disappointed with the mines. I was expecting to find explanations about the salt extraction process, but they have turned it into a leisure site. In my opinion, it is not worth the long journey just to see the mine. It might be a good idea to combine the activity with something else. The guide seemed like a nice guy, but he spoke so quietly that we couldn't hear any of his explanation on the bus.

El lugar es interesante de ver, pero las minas se ven en 20/30 minutos y la excursión está planificada en 8 horas, según el punto de recogida. 8 horas para 20/30 minutos de visita. He de decir que me esperaba más. Recomiendo ir a verlas, pero organizando la visita por cuenta propia aprovechando el trayecto para ver otras cosillas ya que vas por la zona. El chófer/guía fue amable pero su conducción no me pareció del todo adecuada.

The place is interesting to see, but the mines can be seen in 20/30 minutes and the excursion is planned for 8 hours, depending on the pick-up point. 8 hours for 20/30 minutes of visit. I have to say that I expected more. I recommend going to see them, but organizing the visit on your own, taking advantage of the journey to see other things since you are going through the area. The driver/guide was friendly but his driving did not seem to me to be entirely adequate.
