Geographical location

Location of Fundata in Brașov County

Fundata is located in the extreme south-east of Transylvania, right on the border with Wallachia . The Pasul Bran ( Törzburger Pass ) , which is important for traffic, belongs to the municipality . To the west of the municipality is the Piatra Craiului , to the east the Bucegi Mountains and the Leaota Mountains .

history

The region above the Törzburg and in the region of the Törzburger Pass was probably settled around the end of the 17th century. Fundata was first mentioned in a document in 1732. It was a village of Romanian farmers and cattle herders.

After the place Fundata had belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary , the Principality of Transylvania and Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War , it has been part of the State of Romania since then. Parts of today's municipal area were already part of the Principality of Wallachia and Romania before 1918.

On July 26, 2010, a military transport helicopter manned by six Israeli officers and a Romanian captain crashed in the municipality. In this context, the world public first learned of the military cooperation between Romania and Israel .

In the village of Fundata itself, too, the number of inhabitants has declined significantly in recent decades. In 2002, 526 residents (525 Romanians, one Hungarian) were registered.
