About

Csíkpálfalva/Păuleni Ciuc is a picturesque village located on the eastern edge of the Central Ciuc Basin, just 5 km north of Miercurea Ciuc/Csíkszereda and near the famous pilgrimage site of Csíksomlyó. Situated at an altitude of 740 meters, it serves as the administrative center for two nearby villages: Csíkdelne and Csíkcsomortán.
The village has a rich tradition of local crafts, especially weaving. The famous Csík region wool rugs—colorful, patterned textiles influenced by Turkish designs—are still made here. Historically, local women also wove garments for the Franciscan monks of Csíksomlyó.
Traditional clothing was handmade from hemp, flax, and wool. Men and women wore homespun garments, with specific patterns and materials indicating social rank, especially in men's stockings and outerwear.
The area draws many visitors, particularly during the Pentecost pilgrimage to Csíksomlyó, a centuries-old religious tradition honoring the Virgin Mary. Local hosts offer various experiences such as horse-drawn carriage rides, visits to shepherd’s huts, folk dance nights, wildlife watching, and demonstrations of chimney cake baking and traditional rug weaving. Excellent accommodation is also available.
The people of Csíkpálfalva, Csomortán, and Delne warmly welcome all guests and visitors.

Borsec lies in a wide valley surrounded by the forested mountains of the Gurghiu, Bistrița, and Călimani ranges, at an altitude between 850 and 930 meters above sea level. It is accessible via National Road DN15 from Toplița, a route that connects Transylvania with Moldavia. The nearest train station is in Toplița, 27 km away. Nearby airports include Târgu Mureș (141 km), Cluj-Napoca (191 km), Bacău (190 km), and Iași (200 km). Thanks to its microclimate, fresh ozone-rich air, and its remarkable flora and fauna, Borsec is one of Romania’s most sought-after tourist destinations. Visitors are mainly drawn by the mineral waters, the Fontana Spa, drinking cures, the ski slope, the summer bobsled track, and the breathtaking natural beauty of the surrounding area. Emperor Franz Joseph once called Borsec mineral water “The Queen of Mineral Waters.” The town’s development and the large-scale commercialization of its mineral waters are linked to two Austrian citizens, Günther and Zimmethausen, who leased the area in 1806. They began bottling the mineral water in glass bottles of their own production and presenting it at various international fairs, from which they returned with diplomas, medals, and certificates. These, along with other period documents, can be viewed in the Mineral Water Museum.
