Sovata is situated at the heart of Transylvania. Its location among the wooded slopes of the Harghita Mountains provides it with a favorable climate. The reputation of the resort is due to the beauty of the salty Ursu Lake; the lake is unique in Europe by the heliotropic qualities of its waters, whose saltiness also increases with depth. Also contributing to this reputation are the sapropelic muds of the Black Lake, which are used for full body wrapping, but also for localized treatments, mud baths, etc. The medical infrastructure is well-suited for a variety of treatments. The resort also boasts a casino and a variety of facilities for such sports as swimming and skiing.
