In Sândominic, the Village Museum Collection, the Márton Áron Museum and a horse-drawn carriage ride each offer a different focus. The collection displays tools and equipment from several fields of work; the museum is dedicated to Bishop Márton Áron, while the ride takes you to a sheepfold for a tasting.

Horse-drawn carriage ride with a tasting

A horse-drawn carriage ride starts in Sândominic and visits a sheepfold. There, you can sample fresh Cașcaval and sweet Urdă. The ride and the tastings are thus part of the described excursion. If you plan to take this trip, check before you travel whether the carriage ride is offered on your preferred date.

Village Museum Collection and traditional houses

The Sândominic Village Museum Collection features a permanent exhibition in three rooms, displaying tools and equipment for storing provisions, cultivation, woodworking, timber harvesting and weaving. Its themes range from storage and cultivation to various kinds of woodworking and weaving. A traditional house near the collection was built in 1774. Another furnished traditional house stands beside the cultural centre of the Sândominic Village Museum Collection; it is distinct from the house built in 1774.

The Márton Áron Museum

The Márton Áron Museum commemorates Bishop Márton Áron. An interactive exhibition presents his life and legacy. This gives the museum a different focus from the Village Museum Collection: here, the focus is on one person, while the collection presents tools and different fields of work.

The museum also offers educational activities for young people about the 20th century and about the life and teachings of Bishop Márton Áron. If you plan to take part in these activities during your visit, check the current programme details before you travel.

Information and orientation

The Márton Áron Pilgrim and Visitor Centre assists pilgrims and tourists, provides information and offers a place to rest. It also provides space for programmes and temporary exhibitions at the Márton Áron Museum. For orientation, the centre thus combines information services with a connection to the museum programme.

Access to Hășmașul Mare is also possible from Bălan. Bălan lies north of Sândominic, with access via the DN12. If you plan to use this route, allow for road conditions and check them before setting out. This gives you a specific point of reference for planning, without assuming a particular travel time.
