Welcome to Huedin Microregion

Centuries-old traditions endure in this peaceful region of chalky hills and farmland, just off the Cluj–Oradea highway.

The Kalotaszeg is much beloved by Hungarian folklorists as a stronghold of pastoral Transylvanian Magyar culture. Experience it through immersion: stay the night in a never-changing village like Sâncraiu, indulge in Hungarian pastries, and learn woodwork and embroidery from local artisans.
