Encyclopedic overview
Ocna Sibiului (German: Salzburg; Hungarian: Vízakna) is a town in the centre of Sibiu County, in southern Transylvania, central Romania, 10 km (6.2 mi) to the north-west of the county seat, Sibiu. The town administers a single village, Topârcea (Tschapertsch; Toporcsa).
The first spa resort was established here in 1845, and since then Ocna Sibiului has earned a reputation thanks to its heliothermal lakes formed on the site of old salt mines that had collapsed.
