Nature in the wider region

The Natura 2000 protected areas of Betfia and Lacul Peţea are in the wider region around Cordău. Both are under the care of the Muzeul Țării Crișurilor. Another natural feature is the Betfia Pothole, an 86-metre-deep limestone cave with a bat colony. The protected areas and the cave are distinct natural features of the region. Mountain biking, caving and climbing are possible in the area of Avenului de la Betfia. These activities appeal to different interests; what they have in common is that they are associated with this area.

Orthodox history in Cordău

Cordău has an Orthodox parish church. The Romanian Orthodox community has existed in the village since the earliest times and has continued over many centuries. This long continuity gives the religious history a direct connection to Cordău. Those interested in the cultural side of a trip, in addition to thermal waters and routes, will find another point of interest right in the village.
