Székelyhodos
Székelyhodos (in Romanian: Hodosa) is a small Székely village located in the western part of Harghita County, on the border of Sóvidék and the Küküllő region. Administratively, it belongs to the commune of Farkaslaka. The village's secluded location, the surrounding hilly landscape, and the forest-covered scenery offer visitors a unique sense of tranquillity and an authentic rural atmosphere. The village has a small but vibrant community where locals practise traditional farming: livestock grazing, small-scale gardening, and beekeeping are common. The village structure still preserves the old Székely settlement layout, with wooden houses and fences, a small chapel, and simple, tidy courtyards that faithfully reflect the region's folk culture. Székelyhodos is less known among tourists, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a truly peaceful, nature-close environment, fresh air, and a traditional rural lifestyle. The surrounding area is perfect for hiking, walking, or cycling trips. Through nearby Farkaslaka, visitors can easily access local attractions such as Korond, Parajd, or the birthplace of Áron Tamási. Székelyhodos offers a special experience for those who prefer the quiet, enduring beauty of Székely everyday life over bustling tourist attractions – a place where simplicity is not a lack but a value.
