Following the collapsing of the celings and the flash fluds that had happened in the salt mine, three salt water lakes resulted.
Later, between 1800- 1854, two new salt mines werw opened, on the western part of Slănic mountain, in Baia Baciului and Grota Miresei, that, following the same transformation process, have become the salty laces of today. These lakes that were made salty by men- (antropo-salin) have resulted from the accumulation of rain water in the cavity of old salt mines are renowned for their therapeutic effect due to silt/ mud and salty water.
