Csíkszépvíz

Frumoasa (in Romanian, Frumoasa) is one of the northernmost settlements in Harghita County, known not only for its picturesque surroundings but also for its well-kept village appearance and strong community spirit. The village is located near the Frumoasa Reservoir, which today serves not only water management purposes but also plays a role in tourism, being a popular spot for visitors to relax. The pride of the settlement is the Székely Border Guard Memorial Centre, which presents the history of Székely border defence and the military traditions of the Székely communities in a modern, interactive way across three levels. The exhibition also serves educational purposes, regularly welcoming school groups and tourists alike. The surrounding hilly landscape offers excellent opportunities for hiking or cycling, and in winter, for sledging and cross-country skiing. The village community places increasing emphasis on preserving traditional lifestyles, local products, and environmental values – providing visitors not only with experiences but also with an example of sustainable rural living. Frumoasa is a place where past and present, nature and culture come together to offer a lasting experience – in the spirit of sustainable tourism.
