Beneath the waters of the Bezid Reservoir rests the former village of Bözödújfalu. Its 180 homes disappeared under the lake, and the memory of the community still lives on through those who were once forced to leave. This ride blends powerful history with authentic Transylvanian countryside.
Corund is the cultural heart of the Salt Region (Sovidek), renowned for its traditional pottery, crafts, and vibrant local heritage.
