The village is placed at the foothill of Ciurgău Mountain, on the ridge between the basins of Sugău and Bardosul rivers, consisting of scattered households, with large courtyards and narrow lanes. Bârnadu is situated just above the high and steep Bicaz Gorges, making a picturesque destination of it, an oasis of peace and beauty, where landscapes of Șugău Gorges, Criminiș Peak and Hășmașu Mare Peak are available to the viewers. The most frequented way of access to the village is the forest road that departs from Bicaz Gorges and climbs up to the top of the mountain, ending in the glade where the houses are located. The tourists who venture through these places not only enjoy the sceneries of breathtaking beauty, but also have the opportunity to discover warm, honest and hardworking individuals, truly brave mountain people.

The village of the Three Fountains (Satul Trei Fântâni), located at the foothill of Hăşmaş Mountain at an altitude of about 900 meters, is considered one of the most attractive and charming villages in Romania. The village belongs to the Commune of Dămuc and the name “Three Fountains” is taken after the three springs in the area. The villagers’ houses are built according to the traditional mountain architecture. Located at the borderline between Neamt and Harghita counties, the village of the Three Fountains hosts about 100 families, mostly Hungarians.

No matter what season you come here, the area which is located just between the mountains is really a spectacular one. The locals are welcoming and warm-hearted people, and the stories they tell to everyone who’s willing to listen lead the tourists  into a different kind of wonderland. Here, one can finally escape from the pressure of daily existence, feel that different rhythm of life that can only be experienced in the countryside, and enjoy the really simple and healthy living. Villagers say that until 2000, not even electrical connections were brought into the picturesque village at the foot of the mountain.
