Located at the western foot of the Transylvanian Harghita and Gurghiu Mountains, 500 meters above sea-level, the resort and spa Sovata has been known across Europe for over a century. Beyond its beautiful landscapes, its fame is largely due to Lake Bear (Lacu Ursu), the only so-called helio-thermal lake on the continent. The high salt content of the ground is dissolved within the lower layers of the lake with temperatures reaching as high as 50 degrees Celsius due to heat absorbed from sunrays through the upper, fresh-water layers. Called also the "Dead Sea" of Transylvania because of its high concentration of dissolved salts, this lake offers relief for a number of ailments. 

In the heart of the Székely Land, on the western foothills of the Görgény Alps, Sovata stands at a height of 500 m. In this beautiful location lies the four-star Danubius Health Spa Resort Sovata situated only 150 metres from the famous Lake Bear.

 The spa's pride, Lake Bear - created by an unusual act of nature in 1875 - is heliothermal (heated by sunlight) and its mud and exceptionally high salt content (250 gm per litre) are the basis for the treatments offered (locomotive, dermatological, gynaecological). The lake can be used for bathing from July to the end of August; because of its exceptional properties it is closed for the rest of the year to allow the waters to "recuperate" and restore themselves.
