Borșa is a significant mountain town in Maramureș County, situated at the foot of the Rodna Mountains and the Maramureș Mountains. Historically known as a mining center, it has evolved into a premier destination for winter sports and alpine hiking. The town serves as the primary gateway to the Rodna Mountains National Park, a protected area famous for its glacial lakes, such as Lake Iezer, and the Pietrosu Peak, which at 2303 meters is the highest in the Eastern Carpathians. One of the most spectacular natural attractions nearby is the Horses' Waterfall (Cascada Cailor), where water plunges from a height of nearly 90 meters over limestone steps. The resort area, known as Complex Borșa, provides multiple ski slopes and chairlifts. Beyond its natural beauty, the region is a stronghold of traditional Maramureș culture, characterized by unique wood architecture, elaborate gates, and local customs that have remained largely unchanged for centuries.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
