About the town
Baia Sprie has been part of the Eco Maramureș destination since 2026. The town was one of the most important mining centres in Romania, known for gold, silver and polymetallic ores, and it is the closest gateway to the destination from Baia Mare.
The Mine Hill, riddled with galleries dug largely by hand, has been part of the Mines Park since 2025: 80 hectares of forest developed by the Baia Sprie town hall as Romania's first mining theme park. It is also home to the Blue Lake, a nationally protected area. Read more about the galleries, shafts and famous “mine flowers” under mining heritage.
Good to know
In town you will find the tourist information centre (Strada Câmpului 1A), cash machines, card payments and petrol stations. The DN18 via Desești or the DJ109F via Cavnic take you on to the villages of the destination — see access routes. The Chiuzbaia fossil reserve is also nearby.
