Region

Borospataka

Kaliba Cabins is located in the outer reaches of the Eastern Carpathians in Borospataka/Valea Boros which is a settlement belonging to the village center of Gyimesközéplok/Lunca de Jos. Borospataka/Valea Boros is situated at an altitude of 930 meters above sea level, with nearby peaks reaching heights of 1,550 meters at Naskalat Peak and 1,329 m Apa-havas. Borospataka village is a settlement with just under 500 inhabitants in the Gyimes region (also called little Switzerland), the home of the csángó hungarians.

The region - Gyimes

The Gyimes Valley is a unique world in Transylvania: known as the "Land of Streams" on the eastern border of the former Csík County, at the upper course of the Tatros River. Gyimes' border can be reached from Csíkszereda via the Fügés Pass, offering a breathtaking view. Deep valleys and gentle slopes alternate in such harmony that not only pleases the eye but also soothes the soul. Continuing into the Tatros Valley, the villages are nestled in the side valleys, along the streams.
The upper valley of Gyimes, the source area of the Tatros, is inhabited by three major communities: Gyimesfelsőlok (Lunca de Sus), Gyimesközéplok (Lunca de Jos), and Gyimesbükk (Ghimeş-Faget), the latter being in Bákó County.

Local people

The Hungarians living in Gyimes are called Csángók. They are the Gyimes Csángók, distinct from the Moldavian Csángók who live further inland. Arable land is scarce here due to the narrow valley wedged between the mountains, so the economic foundation has long been based on animal husbandry, shepherding, wood processing, timber trade, and cottage industries.
In spring, the Gyimes locals migrate with their animals to summer pastures in the Kaliba,(small cabin in the mountains) and around St. Michael's Day in autumn, they return to their village dwellings.
