Highlights
Step off the beaten path and get acquainted with the Székely heritage and culture just 1 hour drive from Brasov. This Hungarian speaking minority of Transylvania was once the defensive outpost of both the Hungarian Kingdom and Medieval Europe. Discover the rich ethnographic collection of the Haszmann-Pál Museum and learn about the traditional Székely motifs and symbols used in wood carving and furniture painting. Soak up the interesting stories and myths linked to the profession of the miller as you observe the functioning of an old watermill. Visit the Székely town called as the City of Guilds, then immerse yourself in beautiful natural environment as you explore the unique attractions of the Land of Volcanoes. Optionally, extend your tour with bear watching in the wild or with a beer tasting tour at a local brewery.

The traditions of the guild were preserved up until 1947, while the peculiar construction of the courtyards in the historical center still remind us to their important role in the city’s history. After a short walk in the center, we can stop by a local restaurant for lunch.Saint Anna Lake

The inhabitants of the area have used these natural resources in curative purposes for hundreds of years. We hike up to the Sulphurous Cave, which is Europe’s largest hydrogen sulfide mofetta emanating daily 3000‒6000 m3 gas, then on the forest trail we go down to the Apor Daughters Bath, where you will find various natural feet soaks and baths which are very fizzy, like a jacuzzi. Next we drive 10 km to Central Europe`s only volcanic lake, the enchanting Saint Anne Lake. Its charm for tourists has the roots in the legends surrounding this place, the beautiful landscape, the healing properties and into the fact that it is also a great place to get in touch with nature.Mohos Peat-Bog
