Team-building trip

We've visited recently one of Romania's most popular touristic attractions, the Salt Mine from Turda, which is very close to our city, Cluj-Napoca. This trip gave us an opportunity not only to admire the beauties of nature but also to have fun and to learn together, like a real team :)

 We couldn't miss the chance to promote our project in the underground.:))) So, we checked the echo of the mine, which gives back the sound thirteen times!!!
