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.

About who? About people, bears, people and bears, living together. For whom? For children, adults, the elderly, locals, tourists, professionals, lay people, people who want to have fun, or just people who want to spend some quality time. Where? In Băile Tușnad/Tusnadfürdő. In the centre of the town: in the park, on the stage, on the blanket, in the conference room, at the fair, with a beer in hand. Why? Because the "bear theme" is part of our everyday life. TusnadEcoBearFest will be all about bears, but it will also be about people. About authentic information, challenges and solutions to coexistence.
