Slănic
Slănic () is one of the 12 towns of Prahova County, Muntenia, Romania, historically and currently known as a salt extraction center, as well as a spa town, with salt lakes. Two villages, Groșani and Prăjani, are administered by the town. Etymology As its name (''salt'' in Slavonic) suggests, most of Slănic's history and economy are directly related to the presence of relatively large quantities of salt underground, and even in open air. Slănic is also the name of the creek flowing through the town, tributary of Vărbilău River, which in turn is a tributary of Teleajen River. Although technically incorrect, the compounded name ''Slănic Prahova'' is also being used, especially in other parts of Romania. This alternative name was probably generated to help discern between ''Slănic'' and another Romanian town, Slănic-Moldova.
