Thermal Wellness Tușnad is the contemporary version of a centuries-old tradition: the mineral waters and mofettes that made this resort on the Olt famous, gathered into a complex with indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and relaxation areas. The steam rising off the outdoor pool on cold October evenings, with the forested slope right above, is the image that stays. With a 4.2 Google rating from over a thousand reviews, it is the simplest way to close a day of hiking.
The setting helps: the complex sits in Băile Tușnad, at the foot of the narrowest gorge on the Olt, a few kilometres from Saint Ana Lake, the only volcanic crater lake in Romania.
Good to know The best plan is hiking in the morning, warm water in the afternoon: walk up the trail to Saint Ana Lake, then come down to the pools. Weekends and holidays get busy, so go early or late in the evening. See the rest of the Harghita & Covasna region, the other thermal and spa resorts, and check the mountain weather if you plan the climb too.
