Homoródfürdő

Homoródfürdő (in Romanian: Băile Homorod) is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Harghita County, located between Odorheiu Secuiesc and Miercurea Ciuc, at the foot of the Harghita Mountains, at an altitude of 740 metres above sea level. Administratively, the settlement belongs to the town of Vlăhița, but it is known as an independent holiday area. The settlement owes its reputation primarily to its medicinal mineral waters, which are rich in iron, carbon dioxide, and have a mildly salty mineral composition. The most popular springs – Lobogó, Mária, and Fenyő – have been serving those seeking healing and rejuvenation for centuries. The water is excellent not only for drinking cures but also for bathing. Surrounded by pine forests, the resort is ideal for nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking tranquillity. In summer, visitors can enjoy hiking, mushroom picking, and cycling; in winter, skiing and sledging are popular activities – the small ski slope provides a family-friendly environment for sports. Homoródfürdő offers several guesthouses, holiday homes, and accommodations with small wellness services. Local hosts often serve traditional Székely dishes, local honey, jams, and pálinka. The charm of the small chapel, the former holiday villas, and the Székely-gate adorned courtyards adds to the gentle allure of the place. The settlement also features a popular toboggan run, and in winter, the local ski slope welcomes skiing enthusiasts. Homoródfürdő is a place for physical and mental rejuvenation, natural beauty, and traditional hospitality – a spot on the map of Székely Land where one can pause to rest, refresh, and find peace.
