About

Borsec lies in a wide valley surrounded by the forested mountains of the Gurghiu, Bistrița, and Călimani ranges, at an altitude between 850 and 930 meters above sea level. It is accessible via National Road DN15 from Toplița, a route that connects Transylvania with Moldavia. The nearest train station is in Toplița, 27 km away. Nearby airports include Târgu Mureș (141 km), Cluj-Napoca (191 km), Bacău (190 km), and Iași (200 km).

Thanks to its microclimate, fresh ozone-rich air, and its remarkable flora and fauna, Borsec is one of Romania’s most sought-after tourist destinations. Visitors are mainly drawn by the mineral waters, the Fontana Spa, drinking cures, the ski slope, the summer bobsled track, and the breathtaking natural beauty of the surrounding area.

Emperor Franz Joseph once called Borsec mineral water “The Queen of Mineral Waters.” The town’s development and the large-scale commercialization of its mineral waters are linked to two Austrian citizens, Günther and Zimmethausen, who leased the area in 1806. They began bottling the mineral water in glass bottles of their own production and presenting it at various international fairs, from which they returned with diplomas, medals, and certificates. These, along with other period documents, can be viewed in the Mineral Water Museum.

In the past 11 years, many programs of the Green Szeklerland Association have been related to the Environmental Education (EE). In 2010 we realized the need to merge smaller educational initiatives into a larger program since individual program’s results showed they were not effective. That’s how Ant School began, which is the biggest environmental and education program in the region. In the next few years we’ll continue to grow by merging other programs. What do we do? What’s the reason behind our effort? In Szeklerland EE is available in many schools. Committed teachers organize environmental activities for their classes. Many of these are short term programs intended for smaller communities. The Ant School is built on these initiatives and its effort to help those who are interested in EE. We assist teachers in different ways to work with EE locally, or those who affiliated with Entschool, or individually.
