Harghita Ride

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.

The Borders of Tusnád Commune The three villages that make up Tusnád Commune – Tusnád, Újtusnád, and Verebes – are located in the southern corner of the Lower Ciuc Basin, bordered by the Southern Harghita Mountains, the Csomád Mountains, and the Ciuc Highlands. At the center of its territory flows the Olt River, which drains the basin southward through the Tusnád Gorge and divides the area into two large parts.

Our main activity area is the Salt Region (Sóvidék), but we also operate in the Gyergyó Basin as well as in Mureș and Harghita counties. Our story began in 2018 in Sovata, the largest settlement and only town in the Salt Region. In the beginning, we organized hiking and cycling tours only in our immediate surroundings.
