The city of Ocna Mureș is re-emerging as a tourist and spa destination. A new spa and leisure complex has opened in the locality, utilizing saltwater to harness the area’s natural potential.
The “Băile Sărate” Ocna Mureș complex, spanning over 6,000 square meters, features indoor and outdoor pools with both fresh and salt water, a fitness area, and a medical recovery zone.
The history of the saltwater baths in Ocna Mureș dates back over a century. They were highly regarded for the healing properties of their saline waters.
The new complex represents an investment of nearly 8 million EUR, funded through local and county budgets.
