The
pension IZVORUL invites you to confidently stop by all the
year round.
You will not regret!
This marvelous spot in the North East of Transylvania
has, for hundreds of years, a distinct charm, be it winter or
summer, and... it talks to everyone, from soul
to soul, with the voice of the forest. Whoever listens to its
voice at least once will never forget it and will surely want
to hear it again and again. That is why all those who passed
by come back the second time and the third time
they come
back merrily.
And, as nothing is at random, we dare say that the pension
IZVORUL lies here because this particular place is blessed
by God!
But let the past unfold:
· HISTORY·
The contemporary setting has its origins in a wagon shelter
named At the water spring, which can be found in
documents from 1776.
It was a meeting place for traders and householders: confluence
point between the villages from Mures and those from Bistrita.
Here, beginning with 1777, as documents show, used to be held
two annual market places, for Easter and Christmas, the custom
being preserved until the end of XIX th century. In addition
to their trades, mostly agricultural, people had the chance
to know one another, to share news and make friends.
That is why here there were also planned the weddings and the
baptisms throughout the year.
The families from the Sieu valley and those from the Reghin
area and even the Mures valley became relatives. It was said
that a marriage held here was a very lucky one and lasted as
a house of stone because the very place protected and blessed
the young couples with the forests voice and the waters
sparkling.
Henceforth, the name of the place comes from the water spring
that has been flowing unceasingly for over 200 years
a crystal clear water, cold, rich in mineral salts, benefactor
for human health.
The cross, itself being present ever since, brings the travelers
calm and peace of mind, showing that this place enjoys Gods
blessing.
Today, the Cross, the Wagon and of course the Water spring stand
as witnesses as if an invitation to you to let them tell about
the secrets of the past, most of them only perceived and not
understood completely.

· 225 years after, in May 2002, we brought back to life at IZVORUL the wonderful tradition of FAIRS but neither of cereals nor of animals, as there are plenty of them all around, but those of ART, POPULAR ART and HANDCRAFT, considering these to be much more representative for the entire area and therefore much more interesting and attractive.
That we were not wrong has been proved by the multitude of visitors and tourists who joined the first edition. Naturally, there will follow 2003,
2004-2007.
Come and see with your own eyes!
