Wellness Center Praid
The commune's year-round wellness centre, with a large pool of salty thermal water drawn from 1,000 m below ground, a fresh-water swimming pool, a children's pool, jacuzzis and saunas.
With the salt mine closed, this is where you can float in the salt water the area is known for, all year round.

5Salt reserve and mine, closedMuntele de Sare și Salina Praid
Praid's salt hill, a 60-hectare geological reserve with a canyon cut by the Corund stream, and the salt mine beneath it; both have been closed to visitors since the flood of May 2025.
They are what made Praid famous, but for now you can only see them from outside the closed area, and the mine has no reopening date.
