What to see and do in Borsec

Five places in Borsec and nearby worth your time during a stay.

01
Fontana Spa & Balneo
The local wellness centre has modern facilities: mineral water baths, a steam sauna, massages and a salt room. Treatments prescribed by a specialist doctor are offered for joint, muscle and movement problems. The centre is 100 m from Villa Bellini.
02
The Bear Cave
The Bear Cave sits in the limestone area with the largest rock deposits in the Borsec basin. Erosion carved it over time, and it is named after the remains of a cave bear found there. Follow the path marked with a red triangle, passing the Kossuth and Petőfi springs.

The mineral springs
Borsec has around fifteen captured springs, and nearly ten of them can be tasted. Kossuth, Boldizsár, László, Lázár and Pierre Curie each have their own mineral make-up. Springs no. 3 and no. 6 are near Villa Bellini.

Summer bobsleigh
The summer bobsleigh run at the Speranța centre is 1.5 km long and reached by a T-bar lift. It runs in the summer season, and the operator announces the hours.
05
The ski slope
The slope lies at the north end of the resort, between 936 and 1072 m, with a 136 m height difference. Three runs add up to 2 km, served by a T-bar lift: Speranța (680 m), Prichindel (814 m) and Raza Soarelui (726 m). From the villa it is about 20 minutes on foot.
