II. 3 THE TOURIST POTENTIAL OF
BISTRITA MUNICIPALITY
II.3.1 Evaluation of the tourist potential in terms
of natural resources
Water
The town of Bistrita and the localities of Unirea,
Viisoara, Sarata are located along the Bistrita river.
The river and its branches have could be of tourist
value if their capacity flow is regulated and the
sources of pollution eliminated.
The only current arrangement is at the area for water
intake by the municipality – MHC area – situated on
the left bank of the river Bistrita.
Mineral water resources
Mineral water resources in the area have been
used in the past and it would be desirable and
beneficial to use them again. Establishing 2
stations – one with salty water and mud, the other
with sulphurous waters – would increase the
tourist attractions of the municipality.
Green spaces
There is currently no support for rehabilitating the
green areas of the municipality. The localities in the
municipality tend to merge with the actual city with no
green areas in-between. This is aesthetically bad for
the area.
Codrisor Hill, situated on the left bank of the river
Bistrita, has the potential to become a point of
attraction for tourists.
