Anita vendégház

In the eastern part of Transylvania, blessed with all of the wonders of nature, lies the basin of Gyergyó also known, as the "Arcadia of the Székely-land", pinched between the mountains which have arisen in the quaternary era. It is surrounded by the crystalline-slate Gyergyoi alps from the east (Pricske 1543 m) and the volcanic Görgény alps (Mezőhavas 1777m) from the west. It is situated on 740-820 m above sea level, sloping in the direction of the Maros river's flow axis. The centre of the basin, Gyergyósyentmiklós is situated in the ring of nine villages (Gyergyocsomafalva, Gyergyoalfalu, Gyergyoujfalu, Gyergyoditro, Borzont, Gyergyoszarhegy, Gyergyokilyenfalva, Tekeropatak, Gyergyovarhegy). The main route of transport is the 12th road, connecting it to Csíkszereda and Maroshévíz. There is the 12B road leading to the locality Parajd, through the Bucsin mountaintop ( 1278 m ), and the 138 leading to Székelyudvarhely through the Libán hilltop ( 1000 m).

The Gyilkos lake presumably started up as a natural valley-blockade on the summer of 1837. It?s name has changed during the times. It?s original name vas Red lake, from the Red Creek, which flows into it. The current name Gyilkos lake (murderous) was introduced by Orbán Balázs. The local belief correlates the names Red and Gyilkos with the legend saying, that the falling hilltop would have buried the herd of sheep and it?s shepherd under itself, and the blood filtering through the earth has changed the colour of the water into red for a long time. Another surmise is, that the landslide would have "murdered" the pine forests in the valley, and "today the stumps of trees spearing out of the water as the gravestones of some ancient székely community warn the wayfarer of the transience of life" (L. Gyarfas Gyozo)

The Békás narrows is located in the upper valley of the Békás creek, in the direct continuation of the Gyilkos lake. It is the most well known, most popular and most beautiful defile of the Easter Carpathians. The average height of the neighbouring mountains is 1300 m and these are broken by the 2-300 m drop of the stonewalls of the Békás glen. The total length of the glen is 5 km. One of the most famous, and very rare plants of this area is edelweiss.

The Likas depression belongs to the rare vertical pit-caves, in the northern side of the Likas mountains, situated at an altitude of 1650 meters. It?s total length is 51m and it has three separate parts. At the end of the 34 m vertical tunnel there is a three-meter thick ice plug. The western side of this plug is melted during the summers, and trough a tight gap it is possible to breach the lower cave, which is 17 m deep, and is bottomed by a "fake bottom" made up of debris. The temperature of the depression is constant +3 centigrade, and it is the most spectacular view at the beginning of the summer, when the walls are covered with a thin layer of ice and from the passages there are icicles and ice hangings. Because of the danger it is only possible to visit the caves using climbing equipment.

Main sights in Gyergyószentmiklós:
