THE FAILURE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE PREWAR EXPERIMENT IN THE APUSENI MOUNTAINS – ARISTOCRATIC RESORT MĂGURA, PERTAINING TO THE HUNGARIAN TREASURY. COMPARISON WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE MODELS OF PALTINIȘ AND BISTRA RESORTS

Summary/Abstract: The beginnings of organized tourism in the Transylvanian Alps highlighted the importance of administrative organization for the development and even for the lasting of the new resorts and lodges established at the end of the 19th Century. Măgura summer resort in the Western Carpathian Mountains was founded by the Hungarian Treasury following a pattern essentially aristocratic and ethnic. They provided lands to the Hungarian elite, predominantly from Cluj, to build rest houses with closed circuit. This beautiful resort lacked human and economic links with the surrounding area, having a minimum opening to tourists. In the context of a social and ethnic conflict fired at Beliş at the end of 1918 by foreign prisoners of war, Măgura resort was completely destroyed. Another prewar summer colony, placed in the Sebeș Mountains, named Bistra, is also no more existing today. The chalets of Bistra exclusively belonged to the forestry authorities and their closed circuit prevented the development of a true resort. By contrast, the Rest Home Păltiniş (Hohe Rinne) was founded by the Transylvanian Carpathian Association SKV (1894) as an intermediary between the wide public and the mountain world. Păltiniș resort was always open to all nationalities and religions, having a management dedicated to community and not to some privileged. Its development created during the time the beautiful resort that we know today.
