Romanian Salt Mine – Ideal Sci Fi Movie Set & Alien Worlds Inspiration For Writers

Turda Salt Mine is one of the most memorable places I’ve been in my life. Everything about it begs to become a sight for a Sci Fi movie shoot. What kind of movie would you make here? First historic records of the mine date back to the  year 1075. 112 meters deep, it features an underground salt lake, intricate catwalks, stairs, ‘rooms’, passages and hallways.

    1. Thanks! I posted it and started thinking myself about various scenarios. As a result, I started writing a short story set in that salt mine. Will post it in a few days.
