The bobsleigh track from Toplita is part of the Baciu Guesthouse and is the longest bobsleigh track in Romania. The track mostly descends through the forest, with sledges reaching speeds of 45 km / h, then there follows a slow ascent where you can enjoy the beautiful landscape. The ascent-descent circuit takes about 10 minutes. In curves or if the speed is too high there are sensors that brake automatically. Nor can a sledge hit you from behind because there are brake sensors that do not allow the sledges to collide. Important! Children from 3 to 8 years old can only be accompanied by an adult. It is allowed the access of two people in a sledge provided it does not exceed 150 kg together. Prices: • Children from 3 up until 14 years: 25 RON  • 14 years+: 30 RON  The price is not per sleigh, but per person. But in the same sleigh can climb 1 or 2 people.

Our unique go-kart track is located on the outskirts of Sub Cetate, in the Deșag Resort area, on the banks of the Târnava river, in the Deșag valley. The heart of the complex is, of course, the go-kart track, where you can experience the adrenaline with our electric go-karts. However, from the very first moment we have strived to offer our visitors as wide a range of services as possible. Now you can enjoy not only the karting experience, but a whole range of services. This has made it the perfect place for team buildings, gatherings with friends and family, bachelor and bachelorette parties, children’s parties etc. All you have to do is gather your friends and enjoy the experience in the shade of the forest. Get going!

Te invităm să te desprinzi de viața de zi cu zi, luându-ți cu tine familia, pentru a petrece o tură pe munte cu mașini 4x4, unde poți parcurge trasee și colțuri ascunse ale Munților Gurghiu, a zonei Toplița, admirând atât elementele ale florei naturale, cât și posibilitatea întâlnirii pe traseu cu animale sălbatice în mediul lor natural, specifice faunei locale. Din multitudinea de drumuri, putem alege în funcție de preferințele fiecărui turist, a fiecărei familii, trasee și obiective, de dificultate și ritm de parcurgere a acestora de la niveluri de începător până la cel de avansați.  Ne lăsăm mașinile proprii în oraș de unde ne îmbarcăm în mașinile de teren plecând la drum spre o călătorie de neuitat. Primul popas îl avem lângă Cascada de apă termală Toplița, monument al naturii, rezervație naturală de tip geologic și peisagistic.

Opțional atât adulții cât și copiii pot opta pentru o lecție de echitație.  Plecăm mai departe înspre Stâncile cu coloape (Babele Gurghiului) unde vom vedea niște formațiuni geologice interesante parte a unui relief vulcanic rezidual. Din punctul de vizitare pute admira vârful Bătrâna și asculta legenda acestui loc. Prânzul tradițional cu bucate alese din zonă îl vom servi la coborârea spre stâna familiei Micu Marian, loc din care vă puteți procura cele mai gustoase brânzeturi maturate sau proaspete din zonă.  În funcție de anotimpul în care ne aflăm pe traseu putem culege fructe de pădure (zmeură, afine, merișoare, mure, fragi) ciuperci (piciorul căprioarei, râșcovi, ghebe, hribi, gălbiori) și plante medicinale (cimbrișor, coada șoricelului, coada calului, sunătoare, ciuboțica cucului, chimen, etc). În drum spre casă putem poposi la Câmpul cu Lavandă din Gălăuțaș al familiei Cotfas Doru, de unde puteți achiziționa produse specifice: săculeți aromatizați, uleiuri esențiale, alte produse. Pe parcursul călătoriei noastre învățăm despre istoria locală, războaiele mondiale, date geografice și geologice precum și detalii privind fauna și flora.
