About

The gardon is a musical instrument carved from wood. It resembles a cello, but its body is sculpted from a single piece of wood. At the workshop in Boros Valley, visitors can delve into the secrets of creating this instrument and follow the entire process as the wood comes to life step by step, transforming into a true wonder.
Carving the gardon is a fascinating process from start to finish. As the excess material is removed and the final shape of the instrument takes form, each step represents a rebirth of the wood.
During the workshop visit, visitors can see how a Gyimes gardon is made or what tools are used in the workshop.

Panoramic mountain refuges are rare in Europe. In Romania, there are two of them, both in the Bicaz/Békás Gorge. They were inaugurated this year by the Gyilkostó Adventure Association and Salvamont Harghita. One of them can be found at the Piatra Poienii/Mária-kő, the other one is on the Ucigaș/Gyilkos Mountain. Not only can you visit the refuges, but you can also stay overnight (50 RON/person/night) by simply contacting Salvamont (+4074 4701 815) or booking online using the In Time app. Photo: Péter Kázmér & Radio Cluj
