Mina de petrol, a doua din lume si unicat in Europa, a fost construita aproximativ pe la 1874. Titeiul se extrage din galerii aflate la 240 si 320m adancime. Astazi este in proprietatea grupului Petrom-OMV.

Desi obiectivul apare pe hartile turistice ca fiind deschis vizitatorilor, si este declarat si monument istoric, in mina nu se poate intra decat cu multe aprobari.

Cutia este in marginea drumului, langa mina.
Continut initial : creion, jurnal, jucarie, piatra calcinata si clips de par.

The oil mine, second in the world and unique in Europe, was built originally around 1874. Crude oil is extracted from galleries 240m and 320m deep. Actually, down there, the oil trickles down the gallery walls. Today it is the property of Petrom-OMV group.

Although listed as a tourist site and historical monument on maps and tourist guides, the mine itself cannot be visited, except for a lot of special approvals.

Cache is hidden in the side of the road, near the mine.
Initial content: log, pencil, toy, piece of rock, hair clip.
