Te invităm să vizitezi cel mai bogat colţ în resurse naturale din Carpaţii Orientali, unde vulcanii şi fenomenele postvulcanice au avut drept rezultat nişte minuni unice ale naturii, alcătuind o lume fermecată. Tinovul Mohoş, un crater de aproape 80 de hectare în Munţii Ciomad este prima noastră oprire, unde descoperim cum a luat naştere această zonă de vegetaţie specială, admirăm ochiurile de apă pitoreşti, învăţăm despre rarităţiile botanice din epoca glaciară precum plantele carnivore. De la marginea craterului coborâm la Lacul Sfânta Ana, care este unic şi prin faptul că este singurul lac vulcanic din Europa Centrală și de Est. După o plimbare cu barca sau în jurul lacului urmează o excursie în zona Balvanyos pe Muntele Puturosu, unde urmând marcajul turistic putem urca prin pădure până la cea mai mare mofetă naturală din Europa, Peştera Puturosu. Fosta mină de sulf emană zilnic peste 4000 de metri cubi de gaz sulfuric. De aici ne continuăm drumul spre Băile Fetelor Apor, unde întâlnim o multitudine de izvoare naturale cu compoziţie chimică unică în Europa, aici putem să ne răcorim şi să beneficiem de forţa tămăduitoare a naturii. Tura se poate completa la cerere cu o pândă de urşi în apropiere sau degustare de bere artizanală la o fabrică locală.

I am István Gáspár, the founder of Gazsi Manufaktúra. Together with my family, we have been studying, collecting, and processing medicinal plants for 15 years. I spent my childhood close to nature, observing and absorbing everything that the Harghita landscape and environment offered. Our everyday life is in harmony with the rhythm of nature, but our true strength lies in our family’s unity. Everyone has their role and strengths, and we complement one another.
As a second-generation herbalist, I consider it important to preserve traditions, apply modern technologies, and pass on our knowledge to the younger generation.
Zetea/Zetelaka is a large village located in the heart of Szeklerland. It is surrounded by beech, oak, and pine forests stretching at the foot of the Harghita Mountains. One of its greatest values is its unspoiled natural environment. Cleanliness, order, traditional gastronomy, hospitality, and a cohesive Szekler community characterize the area.
The ingredients for our handcrafted products are collected by hand from this untouched environment, then carefully selected and packaged. From us, you receive not just a tea, but health, vitality, and an experience.
Program options:
• Visit to the Herbal Garden: the Garden of the Herbal Lady welcomes visitors who wish to gain insight into the everyday life of a traditional herbalist. Guests can learn about various medicinal plants and purchase local herbal products.
Duration: 1–1.5 hours
Entrance fee: 50 RON

Gypsy music was played in each restaurant to entertain the guests. In the late 1800s, the band of Solomon (John and William) in Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár was the most common. But the Lajos Pongrácz orchestra from Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár and the Hamza Miska folk orchestra from Oradea/Nagyvárad also entertained the bath guests here. The gypsy primate of Balog Bandi from Kecskemét (Hungary) and the primate band of Károly Náty from Târgu Mureș/Marosvásárhely had a contract. Already in 1900, the gypsy primate band of Béla Hári from Homorod enlivened the atmosphere, then the orchestra of Jancsi Balogh and Gyuszi Hamza was the service band.
Among the singers and actresses I would like to highlight the artist Prielle Kornélia, who was in Borsec/Borszék in August 1873. In 1875, Mrs. Laczkóné Szathmáry, a member of the National Theater, performed with the Society of Michael the Great. Blaha Lujza, who spent three consecutive years in Borsec/Borszék and gave concerts between 1882-1884, was a huge success.
In 1888, Ódry Lehel, an opera singer and excellent baritone, performed. He performed 12 performances with the company of his actor Andor Gerõfy and his majesty, the actress Ilka Zádor.
In 1893, Kálmán Egri played in the burlesque: Tót bachelor in America.

Piatra Niergeș, the nearly 900-meter high passage through the gap crossing the southern ridge of the Ciuc/Csíki Mountains, can be reached by a forest road snaking amid pine trees, connecting the settlements of Cozmeni/Kozmás and Cașin/Kászon. The site of one of the last battles of the 1848-49 revolution and war of independence has become a prominent symbol of the self-preservation struggle of the locals.
At the beginning of August 1849, under the command of major János Tuzson of the defense force, who fought under general Sándor Gál, a few hundred Hungarian defence soldiers fought a life-and-death battle here, against an enemy in far superior numbers, defending not only the pass, but the country’s honour.
An increasing number of people from the motherland (Hungary) are also coming on pilgrimages, which is partly due to the fact that in 2015, the Nyergestető Historic Café was added to the list of attractions. For those interested, the informative trail created in the garden shows the most important events of the war of independence, and the café's walls are decorated with the relics gathered by József Szanka, a private collector from Szeged (Hungary). There is also a small library available to those who would like to get to know this section of Hungarian history a little better.
I will give unusual history classes and lectures on the interpretation of this important historical event and the present the Piatra Niergeș/Nyergestető memorial site, as well as a presentation about the historical relics exhibited in our café.
On request, we usually divide the program into two parts. After the presentation of the memorial site, we will interrupt the performance with a typical local lunch, “pörkölt" (made with pig meat), followed by a guided tour. Lunch is plentiful with unlimited consumption.
There is an opportunity to buy coffee and alcoholic drinks as well as soft drinks from the bar.

For those interested, the informative trail created in the garden shows the most important events of the war of independence, and the café's walls are decorated with the relics gathered by Szanka József, a private collector from Szeged (Hungary).

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
