The Păltiniș resort is situated halfway between the village of Rășinari and the Cindrel peak, with hotels, chalets and a ski slope.
The part of the Carpathians near Hermannstadt holds Păltiniş Lake and Bâlea Lake, which host popular resorts for people of the surrounding area.
The ones at Criciova, Cornuţel and Zorile operate in pre-existing churches, while the remainder are new buildings, except the one at Remetea Mică, which holds services in the local Roman Catholic church.
