We start our hiking tour in the mining town of Balan (840 m) as we embark on our trail gradually climbing to the Lonely Stone Hut (1504 m). This trail is part of the Bicaz Gorges - Hasmas Mountains National Park and it can be accessed only by foot or by horse riding. After having a break at the mountain hut, the brave ones can climb the 1608 m high rock cathedral, called Lonely Stone and be rewarded by the gorgeous panorama that reveals from the top. We continue our trail either to the top of the Great Hasmas Mountain (1792 m) or to the top of the Ecem Mountains (1707 m). We descend back to our car on the same trail. Those who choose to extend their trip with one extra hiking day, can stay for overnight at the mountain hut and enjoy the sunset around the Ciuc Basin and a traditional polenta with cheese and drinks served by the hosts.The hut has electricity, bunk bed style rooms and meals served in the dining room with long wooden tables and seats. There is no running water, but you can find a spring a couple hundred meters away.

Our easy walking tour is recommended especially to families with kids or groups of friends who like being outdoors in nature. The trail can be easy to moderate and tailored to the specific interest and physical fitness of the group. During the tour we hike up to one of the best belvedere points of the Gyimes Valley, the rocky towers called Fortress of Owls by the locals.

Founded in 2001, the Csik Chamber Orchestra is now one of the leading orchestras of the country. In July 2001, a chamber orchestra, founded by university students from the most prominent Universities of the country played its first concert in Miercurea-Ciuc, under the leadership of renowned pianist, conductor, and pedagogue, Zoltán Szőnyi. The concert was such a great success that soon it became a regular performer not only as part of citywide events but it created its own concert schedule and named itself “Csik Chamber Orchestra”. Since 2002, the orchestra has also met foreign invitations. Their recordings have been broadcasted several times on the MR1 Bartók Radio in Budapest and Radio Târgu-Mureş. Thanks to the financial support of different grants and organizations, the orchestra appear offen as a full symphonic orchestra, still keeping its name as Csik Chamber Orchestra, as a tribute to its origins. In the autumn of 2006 they invited to Budapest to the Music Academy of Liszt.

„Egy ókori mítosz szerint Zeusz állította fel az olimpiai játékokat, miután legyőzte Kronoszt. Az olimpiáról minden hellénnek hírt kellett kapnia, hogy biztosan odaérjenek.” Sok év után ismét táncháztalálkozót hirdetünk Udvarhelyen, a 40 éves erdélyi táncházat ünnepelve és éltetve. Most adunk hírt jó előre, hogy mindenki biztosan oda- és ráérjen: szeptember 22-23, Székelyudvarhely. Mindenkit várunk. Találkozni jó. Öröm rég nem látott kollégát, barátot megölelni, öröm a szabott és beosztott időn kívüli (szabad) időt együtt eltölteni, hogy ismét és ismét átéljük a találkozás örömét, azt, hogy országtól - kortól - lakhelytől függetlenül a táncházban, a hagyományos paraszti kultúra szeretetében, összetartozunk. Tegyünk félre bánatot és fájdalmakat. Tegyünk félre munkát, lakodalmat, szórakozást és termény-betakarítást. Találkozzunk. És közösen ismét le fogjuk győzni az Időt. Kelemen László
