Harghita Legends

On the edge of the cliff, where the mistress was waiting for her husband in the days of long ago, the traces of her feet can be still seen.
A long time ago, when Szeklerland was in the hands of rabonbans, the province was protected by a chain of strong forts. The tallest of all was the fort atop Csicser, opposite Budvár mountain.
Back in the days of the battles of the Holy War, in the valley of the Gagy stream, next to the river Big Küküllő, a few knights took roots. First they only used the place for resting, then slowly they built some houses, and before long a settlement was founded.
People say that it’s the faeries who return not only among the living, but also to places where all creatures live happily.
