Encyclopedic overview
Târgu Ocna ( Romanian pronunciation: [ˌtɨrɡu ˈokna]; Hungarian: Aknavásár) is a town in Bacău County, Romania. It administers two villages, Poieni and Vâlcele.
The town is situated on the left bank of the Trotuș River, an affluent of the Siret, and on a branch railway which crosses the Ghimeș Pass from Moldavia into Transylvania. Târgu Ocna is built among the Carpathian Mountains on bare hills formed of rock salt. In fact, the English translation of Ocna is salt mine.
