Csíkszépvíz

Frumoasa (known as Csíkszépvíz in Hungarian) is one of the northernmost settlements in Harghita County, renowned not only for its picturesque surroundings but also for its well-kept village appearance and strong sense of community. The village is located near the Frumoasa Reservoir, which today serves not only a water management purpose but also as a popular tourist spot and a favourite resting place for visitors. The pride of the settlement is the Székely Border Guard Memorial Centre, which showcases 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 hills offer 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 – offering visitors not only an experience but also an example of sustainable rural living. Frumoasa is a place where past and present, nature and culture come together to provide a lasting experience – all in the spirit of sustainable tourism.
