Hargita Karting

In Miercurea Ciuc, capital of Harghita County at the heart of the Székely Land, the Hargita Karting lays out an outdoor track for driving fans. The venue welcomes adults as well as children, with karts designed for the youngest, which makes it an open-air outing to share with family and friends alike in this mountain town.

People come for a few laps on the asphalt, in the green setting of the Eastern Carpathians, at altitudes where the air stays crisp. The format stays that of a leisure circuit: you drive, take on the clock, go again. The practical details (hours, prices, booking) are taken on site or by phone, according to the season and the weather of this highland region.

Miercurea Ciuc, known as Romania's ice-hockey capital, lives to the rhythm of winter sports and Székely culture. The surroundings hold fine discoveries, from Saint Anne's Lake, the only intact volcanic crater in Central Europe, to the nearby ski resorts. The Hargita Karting adds an extra sporting activity there, welcome to get moving between two escapes in the Carpathians.

The activity is best enjoyed in the warm season, when the days grow longer on the Székely heights, and stays a safe bet to keep young and old busy in the open air. The local culture, bilingual of Hungarian and Romanian tradition, gives the town a particular character. All around, the Bicaz gorges and the Harghita-Băi resort offer plenty to extend the trip into the Eastern Carpathians.
