I found this curious little gem on
CNN:
Deep in the Transylvanian countryside lies an ancient salt mine dating back over two millennia.
Today Salina Turda has become an unlikely tourist attraction, with thousands of visitors descending its vertical shafts each year to play mini-golf, go bowling and row around its underground lake. This submerged wonderland even has a healing center for people with lung conditions.
[...] Since mining activity ceased in 1932, it has had many lives. It was used
as a shelter in World War II and has even served time as a cheese
storage center. Salina Turda reopened as a visitor attraction in 1992,
bolstered by €6 million investment 16 years later, which cemented its
adaptive reuse as a museum and theme park.
