A fost odată Hohe Rinne. Întemeierea staţiunii Păltiniş
Once again from Hohe Rinne. The Foundation of Paltiniş Mountain Resort

Summary/Abstract: This work presents the way Hohe Rinne (Păltiniş) resort was founded, from the first intentions (1885) to the building of the first chalets (1892-1894). The research has been based on documents, postal history items, postcards and photos, SKV year books and memoirs. Păltiniş (Hohe Rinne) was the highest altitude resort opened in the Carpathians (June 10th, 1894). Its founder was The Transylvanian Carpathian Tourists Society (S.K.V.), an important Saxon association, active between 1880-1945, who also built many chalets like Bâlea, Negoiu, Preşba, Urlea, Mălăieşti, Bolboci, Parâng. The chalets of Păltiniş Rest Home (Kurhaus auf der Hohen Rinne) and related facilities needed a high amount, equivalent to about 100 kg of gold in that time currency. This sum was obtained 50% from donations and SKV funds, the rest being guaranteed with his own wealth by the first president of SKV, advocate dr. Carl Conradt. The first buildings from Hohe Rinne were constructed by Romanian workers leaded by Şerban Cruciat from Răşinari.
