Salt Baths Turda

The existence and exploitation of salt over many centuries created a rich natural area 2 km from the center of the cit.

Here there are numerous lakes in various stages of evolution. The antroposaline lakes are found in a location where there were salt quarries and are now used for therapeutic purpose or recreation (Tarzan Lake, the Durgau Lakes, etc). The concentration of salt in these lakes varies.

The raised level of salt and other elements provides confers the unusual therapeutic qualities found here. Another therapeutic factor in this zone is the raw mineral silicones.

Along Roman Lake is the municipal recreational area with baths. The recreational area was first established during the period between the two world wars. Its current form was established in 1952-1953.
