Tusnad (Tusnad Baths)

Tusnad Baths is the smallest town in Romania, located in the southernmost corner of Harghita County. The municipality has 1,728 inhabitants, according to the 2002 census. The spa was founded in 1842. In 1935, Tusnád separated from the municipality, became independent and was named Tusnád Baths. In 1968, the town became a town and in 1970, many large hotels were built here. After the fall of communism, due to disputed property rights, it began to decline, but today it has recovered. Modern pensions, guest houses, ski slopes and an adventure pool await tourists.

Tusnad Baths and the natural conditions and chemically very diverse healing springs, the climate and the beauty of the landscape have an excellent healing effect on diseases such as neurosis, heart and circulatory problems, gastrointestinal and motor problems and glandular diseases. The Tusványos Free University and Youth Camp is held here and the EU camp has been organized here for many years. Lake Csukás is located under the Sólyomkő rock, is an artificial lake fed by the Olt river and has existed since 1894. Its heyday was in the 1920s. After 1948 the spa was nationalized and a large red star was placed in the middle of the 2 hectare and 3 meter deep Csukás Lake. In winter the lake was used as an ice rink. After 2000 the lake became private property.

The distance between Tusnad and Lake St. Anne through Bixad is 24 km.
