How has that location NOT been used in a James Bond movie?

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old...

I've heard of Salina Turda, are all Romainian salt mines awesome?

Klicnik@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y

Fun fact: Salina Turda does not mean salt turd.

Pretty much

Such a wasted opportunity to design the mine like an ancient underground dwarven city to then use as a major tourist destination after the mine closes down or even sell as a usable and livable underground city.

Well, it is a tourist destination without the Dwarven design. It's an amusement park inside of it. (A pretty small amusement park though.)

One could fill this up with so many cheese wheels.

Going on a tour of this place:

"Over here is the salt wall."

"Oh look, over here is another salt wall as well"

"What's this?? Another salt wall!"

Licks the wall.

"Yes, it's a salt wall."

Walking along the catwalk at the top must be pretty wild.

Is that there mostly for maintaining the lights, or is there another function?

So that’s where my teammates in online games live, good to know

Looks like a Titanfall 2 map

Beautiful. I've heard of old mines being turned into warehouse/office space, I'd love to work in a place like that
