ABOUT OUR PLACE
The Ic Ponor – Padiș holiday village
We are set inside the Apuseni Nature Park, in the Padiș – Cetățile Ponorului karst area, one of Romania's most spectacular regions. It is a place where youth groups, churches and families find quiet, fresh air and time for prayer.
We offer accommodation for over 100 people across a motel, a villa and cabins, our own kitchen and dining hall, a gazebo for barbecues, a stage and play areas — everything needed for a well-organised camp.
"
The greatness of a mountain always points to the greatness of God.
A mountain cannot be taken in at a single glance — just as God cannot be taken in.
