2. Slănic Prahova
• Slănic is one of the 14 towns of Prahova
County, Romania, historically and currently known as
a salt extraction center, as well as a spa town,
with salt lakes. Two villages, Groșani and Prăjani, are
administered by the town. As its name suggests,
most of Slănics history and economy are directly
related to the presence of relatively large quantities
of salt underground, and even in open air.

3. Tourism
• The town is famous for its salt lakes: The Shepherd’s ,
The Green (Baia Verde) and The Red Lakes, as well as
for the Old and New Salt Mines. While salt is still
being extracted from the New Salt Mine, the Old
Mine is open to the public now, being used as a spa,
amusement center and museum of the salt mining
industry. International contests of Indoor Model
Aircraft Flying take place annually in the upper level
(Mina Mihai) of the Old Mine.

4. • Other worthwhile tourist objectives, all within
easy reach for any untrained hiker, are a local
water spring named The Cold Fountain (Fântâna
Rece), the TV Relay Tower (Releu) beyond The
Fir Forest (Pădurea de Brazi), Beacon's Hill
(Dealul cu Semn), The Salt Mountain (Muntele
de Sare) with the legendary Bride's Cave (Grota
Miresei), now partially collapsed due to rain
erosion, as well as The Green Rock (Piatra
Verde) and The Colt's Small Hill (Delușorul
Mânzului).

5. Other seventeen monuments in the city are included
in the list of historical monuments in Prahova county
as monuments of local interest, all classified as
architectural monuments: Roșine Stănescu house,
the houses with shop Anișoara Drăgoi and Valeriu
Popescu all of them in Groșani.
