Harghita

Among the regions of Romania, Harghita stands out for its high Carpathian terrain and enduring Székely identity. In central Romania, the county extends across a land of volcanic mountains, conifer forests and mineral-water springs, with the Harghita Mountains forming a defining part of the Eastern Carpathians. The Olt, one of Romania’s principal rivers, rises in this wider mountain area. Miercurea Ciuc is the county seat and an important centre of the Hungarian-speaking Székely community. Nearby Șumuleu Ciuc is known for its major Pentecost pilgrimage, a long-established Catholic gathering. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Harghita.
