The Fairy Glade

We are very pleased to have been able to create a place in Harghita County that provides meaningful leisure for all ages. Children and adults can get close to the animals living in the park, and they can touch and pet them. In many cases, contact with animals can be a therapeutic nature, as it has a beneficial effect on our physical and mental health.  Nowadays, fewer and fewer pets are kept by families, so one of our goals is to introduce backyard animals and some exotic species, especially to children. The petting zoo is constantly being expanded. We also provide horseback riding and carriage rides with our beautiful pony horses. We welcome all those interested in the “Babusgató” petting zoo and animal park in Subcetate Zetea/Zeteváralja. Tickets: • Adult ticket: 35 RON • Child ticket (3-14): 30 RON

On the Hidegség/Valea Rece in Gyimesközéplok/Lunca de Jos, heading upstream for 10 kilometers, one reaches the Muhos Stream. Here there is a spring known as “büdös víz” (“stinky water”), which in the late 1960s and early 1970s was used as a small therapeutic bath in a modest two-tub facility. Since then, only its memory remains—along with the locals’ wish to once again enjoy the beneficial and healing effects of the water. Building on this idea, Emil Prezsmer and his son Zsolt began constructing a 110-square-meter, two-story building and developing its surroundings. The facility is intended to serve both the residents of Gyimes/Ghimeș and tourists, offering the chance to experience the healing power of this unique water in a picturesque natural environment and under civilized conditions. Characteristics of the medicinal water: • oligomineral–acratothermal–hypotonic water • predominantly sulfate water (magnesium–calcium–sodium sulfate) • mildly acidic, chloride–saline water (sodium–calcium chloride; earthy–calcareous water; calcium–magnesium water) • slightly zinc-containing water • hard water • athermal water, temperature below 20°C Therapeutic indications: A. Musculoskeletal disorders • Rheumatic degenerative diseases, chronic joint inflammations • Diseases of periarticular soft tissues; chronic inflammatory conditions of tendons, tendon sheaths, and joint capsules; post-traumatic and post-surgical pathological changes B. Chronic skin diseases • Eczema, psoriasis, post-traumatic skin conditions C. After-effects of injuries and surgical interventions D. Peripheral nerve disorders • Polyneuropathies E.

The Iezer/Jézer Lake, also known as the pearl of the alps, is located in the Călimani/Kelemen Mountains at an altitude of 1730 m.  Some call it a bottomless lake. According to a legend, a lead duck was once thrown into the lake and found years later at the Black Sea. The depth of the water is between 3 and 5 meters. The lake has a triangular shape. Two brooks fed the lake, which flows into the Puturosul (Stinky) stream. The Lake Iezer Reserve in Călimani is a protected area of ​​national interest that covers a surface of ​​322 hectares, belonging to Toplița administrative center. The reserve lies at the foot of the Răchitiş massif and has a glacial lake (1200 sqm, 45 m long and 35 m wide). The surrounding area is home to a diverse range of shrubs and a wide variety of mammals. Photo: Amazing Nature/Páll Róbert

The sweet chestnut park of Crăciunel/Homoródkarácsonyfalva is a peculiarity of Szeklerland, as it is the only place where the 100 years old chestnut trees can be found. The park covers an area of 2 hectares, providing relaxation for visitors. During the first week of October each year, the locals host the Sweet Chestnut Festival here.

As part of a project, initiated by the Tourism Association of Corund/Korond, two new pools was created on the original site, one 8×12 metres for adults and one 4×4 metres for children. Three centuries ago, this place was already famous. At the foot of the legendary Firtos Hill, at an altitude of five hundred and thirty-four metres above sea level, in the heart of Szeklerland, lies the traditional bath, surrounded by a beautiful large pinewood park! "The water from the salt spring of Corund/Korond is one of the best salt waters, with important components other than salt, such as the high levels of free carbonic acid, iron and sodium bicarbonate, which are unusual in salt waters. And so it is three times more dense than the world-famous Nauheim, which is why it is called Unicum." (Count Sándor Teleki, 1729) ENTRY: • for locals 5 RON • for tourists 10 RON

The Frumoasa Dam is located on the Frumoasa brook, a tributary of the Olt river. The dam is made of ballast fillings, and a clay core. It has a height of 38 m and a length of 506 m. The lake has a total volume of 10.6 million cubic meters, of which 7.6 million up to the standard retention level serve for the drinking water supply of Miercurea Ciuc, providing 50% of the city’s needs. The area near the dam is known for fishing. There are various species of fish: perch, Prussian carp, European chub, common carp, brown trout, common bream, zander, and wels catfish. Guesthouses and holiday homes were built nearby, the area becoming a rather well developed travel spot. The tourists who choose to visit the Frumoasa Dam will find a wonderful, quiet place for relaxation. There are also hiking routes from the lake.

On the outer side of the curve, the Tolvajos brook eroded the rock wall. After a while, the volcanic rock with a less resistant structure no longer supported its own weight and fell into the brook. In this place, the stream flowed under the fallen rock, which resembles a small cottage, a "hut". According to tradition, the place was named "The Hut Stone". It is accessible from the national road 13A to the Chirui Baths.

Nádasszék Bath is located in Băile Selters. The spring is special because of the very high salt concentration, which also contains carbon dioxide and magnesium. In the pool covered with plank of the saline bath, the rheumatism patients are still bathing today. Balneological water is heated by a boiler and can be used during summer, from May to September.
