Sites

Szováta

Famous Transylvanian spa, well-known for its unique helio-thermal salty lake called Bear Lake. The lake was born in 1875 after a geological event. Two streams run into the salty water, producing a thin layer of fresh-water on the surface. This layer is heated by sunlight and prevents the water to cool down. The exceptionally high salt content is excellent for therapeutic treatments.

Parajd (Praid)

The settlement is famous for its salt-mine with huge underground halls, the remainders of century-long extensive mining. There is a unique microclimate in these halls, excellent for respiratory treatment. Equipped with buffets, playgrounds and an ecumenical chapel, the halls provide ideal and relaxing atmosphere for thousands of visitors suffering from respiratory illnesses.

Segesvár (Sighisoara)

 

 

The medieval town of Sighisoara offers the visitor a unique atmosphere with its narrow, cobble-stoned streets, splendid architecture and ancient houses. one of its most famous attractions is the 14th century Clock Tower behind the thick defensive walls of the Old Town.

Erd?szentgyörgy (Singeorgiu de Padure)

The 14th century settlement boasts a Reformed church with beautiful wooden ceiling, while on the outer walls of the church frescoes depicting Saint George have been discovered. Another attraction is the Rhédey Palace, where the great-grandmother of Queen Elisabeth II, Claudia Rhédey was born. The grave of the countess is placed in the crypt of the Reformed church. Only a few kilometres from here there is a huge water storage dame, built in the last years of Ceausescu’s dictatorship. A whole village called Bözöd was flooded by the water, leaving only the church tower above the surface – sad reminder of the village destruction of that era.
