Băile Tușnad sits in the wooded Olt gorge in Székely Land, where volcanic activity feeds cold carbonated springs and mofettes — dry vents of carbon-dioxide gas used for cardiovascular therapy. Warmed mineral pools, gas baths and mountain air have been the resort's prescription since the mid-nineteenth century.
