Baile Felix

Băile Felix is a thermal spa resort near the commune of Sânmartin in Bihor County, Transylvania, Romania. They are the best known and most quality thermal spas in the country. Băile Felix is also at a close distance to Oradea, a major city in western Romania.

Băile Felix and 1 Mai are two thermal spa resorts located in a hilly area with beach and oak tree woods, 8 km south of the municipality of Oradea (seat of Bihor County) and 22 km south-east of Borş (border checkpoint to Hungary).

Summers are not excessively hot and winters are mild, with moderate precipitation .

In the thermal waters of the Peţa river and lake, having a constant temperature of 30-31°C, live the snail Melanopsis parreyssi (tertiary relict) and the fish Scardinus racovitzae as well as a rare species of subtropical water lily - Nymphaea lotus thermalis - tertiary relict, a natural monument.

The resorts host many mineral springs with thermal (20-48°C), sulphuric, calcic, sodic, rich in bicarbonate waters known since the beginning of the millennium. The soothing effect of the waters on articular and muscular pain and on various rheumatic neuralgias accounts for the fame of cures in the resort for the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic diseases (rheumatic polyarthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, conditions after acute articular rheumatism), degenerative and articular rheumatic diseases, central and peripheral neurological disorders, gynecological diseases, post-traumatic conditions, endocrine disorders.

The facilities of the two resorts offer treatment of rheumatism and neurological and gynecological diseases. The modern medical base has at its disposal various facilities for procedures involving electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, aerosols, massage, paraffin packing and other water treatments.

The Felix and 1 Mai spa are also ideal for relaxation and visitors can take advantage of the following:

Craiova - Flower Exhibition

Every year, on 1st of June, you may see in Craiova, Romania a flower exhibition. This is a good opportunity to buy some plants for home. If you just bought, is a nice view anyhow. Let's take a look:

Poiana Brasov - part I

Time swifts life’s experiences but in the end only the important things matter: love , health, family, the environment; the order is at random. It’s a vicious cycle repeating itself.
You always come back to your roots to what made you, to the earth because you’re part of it. Nature calls you, it’s an ancestral calling maybe that’s why we spend our holidays away from the concrete jungle.

We have remoted from our origin but time has a rithm of doing things and teaching us to be what we are: the missing piece from the nature’s puzzle. My first thought when I got to Poiana Brasov was that God had forgotten a piece of heaven on the earth, unspoiled yet by man’s intrusion.
Of course everything is expanding and between the high pine trees the roofs of the hotels pierce the sky. Man insisted to highlight it’s presence in European roads, outdoor activities, impressive hotels endowed with modern facilities.

PoianaBrasov is the kingdom of winter sports and the slopes are passable even there‘s no snow. You can adventure on a bike ride down the slopes but it can be dangerous if you don’t wear a helmet. You can roll over in a huge balloon, it’s funny and dizzy at the same time. Walking is my favorite activity because you can enjoy the silent story of the mountains. There are alleys to stroll, this way you are not disturbed by ATVs drivers, andrenaline hunters. On snowy weather these alleys are full of sledges but I enjoyed a sunny October day, the landscape recharged my soul with everything it’s beautiful, clean and healthy, my eyes with the beauty created only by a divine hand and my ears with the mild music of Dumitru Farcas with his bass clarinet(used by folk musicians in Hungary and Romania). Even if the weather was chilly the outdoor restaurants and terraces were filled with people drinking traditional beverages and eating Romanian meals.

Beyond these terraces you can find another proof of God’s presence, a wooden church, a neutral place built in the land of people and torn from the sky.
