Introduction : Fundata (German: Fundatten; Hungarian: Fundáta) is a commune in Brașov
County, Romania, in the historic region of Transylvania. It is composed of three villages: Fundata,
Fundățica and Șirnea .The place offers beautiful panoramas for the Piatra Craiului
Mountains and Bucegi Mountains, the freshness and the privacy make the complex a place full of
beauty and peace. During the 2013 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, it held
the biathlon competition in the new venue of the town.
Surrounded by the Bucegi Mountains and the Piatra Craiului Mountains, Fundata's altitude of
1360 m makes it the highest commune in Romania. Șirnea was first attested in 1729, and
Fundata in 1732. It lies on the southern border of Brașov County, with Argeș County on the other
side, in the middle of the Rucăr-Bran Pass, along European route E574. It is 42 km
from Brașov and 26 km from Râșnov. In August 1916, when troops from the Romanian Old
Kingdom entered Austria-Hungary, the first village they took was Fundata, also capturing their
first prisoners there and suffering their first battle death.
A traditional lifestyle of herding sheep and cows is preserved, augmented by tourism. Indeed,
Șirnea was declared the country's first tourist village in 1968. Aside from the mountainous
scenery, attractions in Fundata include a wooden Romanian Orthodox church (1830) and one of
stone (1939-1943); in Șirnea, there is a church from 1893-1894 as well as an ethnographic
museum. There is an annual festival held around July 20, feast of the prophet Elijah,
called Nedeia Munţilor ("Mountain Celebration"). Originally a "feast of two countries"
(Transylvania and Wallachia), it was revived in 1969, and features folklore displays as well as local
cheeses and meats.

villages and comunes that are attractive for turists and worth visiting.
