Authorities in Covasna issued a ban on tap water consumption after heavy rains and floods contaminated the main supply source. Residents were warned not to consume the water until the safety and quality of the supply are fully restored.
The Covasna Court has suspended the planned job cuts in the county's municipal offices. This decision halts the implementation of government administrative reforms aimed at reducing staff levels within local administrations.
Covasna, often referred to as the 'City of 1000 Springs,' is one of Romania's most unique spa destinations, located at the junction of the Eastern Carpathians and the Transylvanian plateau. The town is world-renowned for its specific geological phenomena, most notably the 'mofettas', natural emanations of carbon dioxide that have been used for cardiovascular treatments for centuries. Beyond the mineral waters that bubble up in various locations throughout the town, Covasna is famous for its 'Devil's Pond' (Balta Dracului), a post-volcanic mud eruption located right in the city center. Historically part of Szeklerland, the town retains a strong cultural heritage that blends with the therapeutic tourism industry. Visitors are often drawn to the 'Valley of the Fairies' (Valea Zânelor), where a narrow-gauge forestry railway once operated, and the ruins of an ancient Dacian fortress. The combination of high-altitude air, diverse mineral water compositions, and the rare dry CO2 baths makes Covasna a focal point for natural health tourism in the region, supporting a wide range of specialized sanatoriums and wellness centers.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jul–Sep.
