Why Slanic Moldova?
We chose this resort, primarily due to rapid accessibility of our place of residence, city Moinesti, and secondly, because of its many strong points: abundant vegetation, air and landscape benefits.
Its main function, that the resort is very well emphasized by the enhancement of the healing springs, plus the alternative forms of tourism.
History
The settlement developed due to numerous mineral water springs with varying compositions of Slanic valley. On a map printed in Viena in 1856 appears the name Brook Slatina, because it goes through a region with land rich in soluble salts.
The old name of the town at 1810 was Baile Slanic. For the first time the resort appears on the map of the country under this name, on the administrative map of Moldova, between 1838-1840. In the late 1888-1890, after capturing the springs and installing the modern facilities, inhalations and pulverization of that time, the resort is called Baile Slanic Moldova, and later the town is called Slanic Moldova.
The legend goes that Mihalache Spiridon, who was administrator of Targu Ocna Salina, while going to hunt on July 20, 1801 discovered the first mineral water spring.
The writer Wilhelm of Kotzebue writes in his work “From Moldova. Descriptions and sketches”, Bucharest 1884, that: “Mihalachi Spiridon, administrator of mines in Târgu Ocna, was hunting a deer in 1801 through Slănic Valley, inhabited by no human being and covered with secular woods through which you could barely make road. He tired fell down on a rock and on his feet poured the water of Slanic. Suddenly, he sees a spring gushing from the rock and the water left behind a yellow line in the short path to the river. The hunter tasted, returning a few minutes later with a bottle in the new discovered place, leaing a mark through branches of trees. Friends recognize that as mineral water and that abroad is employed to cure diseases”.
The curative quality of the springs and their participation in the cooperative exhibition in Bucharest and the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, bring Slănic the gold medal. Thus, Slănic Moldova guards as modern spa in those days and has since been called “Pearl of Moldavia”.
Physical and Geographical Features
The resort is situated on the eastern slope of the Oriental Carpathians, in massive Nemira in a l ittle valley, narrow and long, bordered by heights covered with forests of beech and pine, through whose valley passes Slănic Stream, from which it gets the name.
Placed in the south-west of Bacau County, the resort is located south of ComăneÅŸti, MoineÅŸti DărmăneÅŸti and southwest of towns Târgu Ocna and OneÅŸti.
Downstream of the resort, Slanic Valley is narrow, and as the valley widens emerge steep massive of sandstone. Slănic waters wash the layers of sandstone and capture salts in their composition. Also, on their way through the Eastern Carpathian mountain chain are enriched with carbon dioxide.
Slanic area is picturesque, especially due to its rich vegetation. Both meadows and forests are adorned in spring with Carthusian Pink Ridge (Dianthus callizonus), Primrose (Primula vulgaris), Crocus (Colchicum autumnale), Hatchet (Viola odorata), Violets (Scilla bifolia), Bells (Campanula). One of the plants protected by law is the candle (Verbascum densiflorum), a rare plant with white flowers that grows on the rocks the area or in cracks.
This area specific creatures are bears, wolves, wild boars, squirrels, and a very rare animal is the lynx, also called “Carpathian panther”, an animal protected by law.
Tourist Attractions in the Resort and Outside It

In this park was landscaped green spaces with games for children in tune with the specific mountain area, plus bike lanes, and for youth and adults were provided sports.
The park is also famous by its buildings, such as kiosk Band, where he performed for the first time George Enescu, the age of 9 years, but his specimens and larch, one of the most interesting pieces of softwood in the country, declared species protected.
