SHORT HYSTORICAL

O veche staţiune (cunoscută din 1804), deschisă tot timpul anului, cu numeroase izvoare de ape
minerale carbo-gazoase, sau conţinând calciu, magneziu. Aceste ape sunt cunoscute pentru
efectul lor benefic încă din a doua jumătate a secolului al XVI-lea. Efectele terapeutice ale
acestor izvoare de ape minerale au fost recunoscute pe plan internaţional.

În 1804 Gunther Zimmetshausen şi Eisner se deplasează la Borsec pentru a vedea dacă se poate
realiza o fabrică de sticlă pentru îmbuteliere. Se mută în Borsec în 1805, începând vaste lucrări
de construcţii de locuinţe, defrişări de pădure, construcţii de drumuri şi o fabrică de sticlă. Aduce
muncitori specialişti în fabricarea sticlei din Austria, Bohemia, Bavaria şi Polonia.

În 1806 începe îmbutelierea industrială în butelii de sticlă fabricate la Borsec. În primul an au

fost îmbuteliate 3 milioane de litri de apă minerală, care au fost transportate cu căruţele ,
ajungând şi până la Viena. Este interesant ca îmbutelierea s-a facut doar în zilele cu soare, când
presiunea atmosferică era maximă, deci şi conţinutul de dioxid era maxim.

Zona Borsec este cunoscuta pentru cele peste 15 izvoare de apă minerală carbogazoasă naturala.
Prin compoziţia lor, apele minerale au efecte curative asupra afecţiunilor aparatului digestiv
(stomac, intestine, căi biliare), rinichilor şi a vezicii şi căilor urinare, precum şi asupra sistemului
circulator periferic.

Localitatea îşi datorează renumele resurselor de ape minerale cu bogate calităţi terapeutice. Este
un areal locuit încă din a doua jumătate a secolului al XVII-lea.

Statiunea are succes datorita apelor cunoscute pentru efectul lor therapeutic, multi oameni
vizitand statiunea pentru tratamentul anumitor boli.

COMPLEX DE SCHI SPERANTA

Complexul de schi Speranţa a fost realizat în cadrul programului naţional ”Schi în România”, cu
sprijin financiar de la Ministerul Dezvoltării Regionale şi Turismului.

PESTERA DE GHEATA
Denumirea şi-a câştigat-o datorită infiltraţiilor de apă care îngheaţă şi iau formă de stalactite şi
stalagmite.

IMPROVES

Trebuie să acordăm atenţie pietrelor alunecoase în sezonul rece şi aerului mult mai rece din grotă
în sezonul cald.

Infiintarea unui serviciu de promovare a orasului in tara si strainatate.

Orasul are nevoie de investitori, pentru a oferi locuri de munca.

Crearea cat mai multor proiecte cu finantare UE pentru constructia si reabilitarea de drumuri.

Construirea a cat mai multe spatii de joaca pentru copii.

Multe izvoare minerale nu sunt reabilitate.

Instalare de bancomate .

Deschiderea mai multor restaurante si magazine alimentare, deoarece nu sunt foarte multe
raportandu-ne la marimea statiunii.

History

An old resort (known since 1804), open all year round, with many springs of carbonated mineral
waters, or containing calcium, magnesium. These waters are known for their beneficial effect
since the second half of the 16th century. The therapeutic effects of these mineral water springs
have been recognized internationally.
In 1804, Gunther Zimmetshausen and Eisner moved to Borsec to see if a glass bottling plant
could be made. Moving to Borsec in 1805, beginning extensive building construction works,
forest clearing, road construction and a glass factory. It brings specialists in glass manufacturing
in Austria, Bohemia, Bavaria and Poland.
In 1806 began bottling in glass bottles manufactured in Borsec. In the first year, 3 million liters
of mineral water were bottled, which were transported with wagons, reaching Vienna. It is
interesting that bottling was done only in sunny days, when the atmospheric pressure was
maximum, so the dioxide content was maximum.
The Borsec area is known for over 15 springs of natural carbonated mineral water. By their
composition, mineral waters have curative effects on the digestive system (stomach, intestines,
bile ducts), kidneys and bladder and urinary tract, as well as on the peripheral circulatory system.
The locality owes its reputation to mineral water resources with rich therapeutic qualities. It is an
area inhabited since the second half of the 17th century.

In the village there is a very important mineral water bottling plant, called Queen Mineral Water
SA.
