history

The place Malnaș, mostly inhabited by Szeklern people, was first mentioned in a document in 1366.

A settlement of the place on the area by the locals called Colțul Mesteacănului (Hungarian Nyrsarka ) was dated to the Neolithic , according to Márton Roska . Further archaeological finds are at Pasul Stejarului and Tăietură (Hungarian Vágás ). Numerous archaeological finds were found on the area by the locals called Lunca (Hungarian Füvenyestetö ), the basalt quarry and in the quarries Podeiu (Hungarian Pad ) and Podeiu de Jos (Hungarian Alpad ).

The village, which has been settled since the 14th century, used to belong to the village of Olteni (Oltzen), which is now incorporated into the municipality of Bodoc, and was inhabited by serf guards. In 1614, of the 31 families who lived here, 13 were liberated, 16 were serfs and two were peasant families.

At the time of the Kingdom of Hungary Malnaş belonged to the Sepsi chair district in the Háromszék County ( Romanian Comitatul Trei-Scaune ). Subsequently, Micfalău belonged to the historical Trei-Scaune (German three chairs ) and from 1950 to today's Covasna district.

Since 2004, the municipality of Malnaş has been reorganized when Micfalău and Bixad separated and today consists of three villages.

Malnaș is well known nationwide for its medicinal water springs, which have been tapped and bottled since 1830. The place also has its own medicinal baths .
