Săcele marked Heroes' Day with solemn ceremonies and military parades in Independence Square despite heavy torrential rain. Local authorities and citizens gathered to honor fallen soldiers and lay wreaths at the monument.
The Mayor of Săcele, Virgil Popa, signed the execution contract for a new European-funded dendrological park in the Coasta Vie district. This project aims to create modern green spaces and recreational areas for the local community.
Săcele is a city in Brașov County, located in the southeastern corner of Transylvania. It is situated near the larger city of Brașov and is composed of several former villages, including Baciu, Turcheș, Cernatu, and Satulung, which have their own distinct histories. The city's inhabitants were traditionally known as 'Mocani,' shepherds who practiced transhumance, moving their flocks between the Carpathian Mountains and the Danube plains. This pastoral heritage is a significant part of Săcele's cultural identity. The city is also known for its strong connection to the Csángós, a Hungarian ethnographic group. Today, Săcele is a blend of modern suburban development and traditional village life, with easy access to the mountain landscapes of the Piatra Mare and Postăvarul massifs.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jul–Sep.
